Ruescas, Javier

With the weight of truth on their shoulders, Ray, Eden and new traveling companion, Dorian, head to the Citadel for help. But now fighting between the rebels and the government has become fiercer. . Fear has become the most powerful weapon of the guards. While Eden confronts her past and Ray tries to unravel his feelings for her, Dorian will gradually discover the limits of her true nature. Together they must undo the web of secrets, lies and betrayals that threatens to bury the truth forever.

Seventeen-year-old Ray wakes one morning to find that nobody he knows is anywhere to be found and that in this new reality humans are no longer the most powerful creatures on Earth. With the help of Eden, a young fugitive whose heart depends on external energy to keep beating, they follow the writings in a mysterious diary in order to find answers to what has happened.

"Since the disappearance of Eden, Ray has not been the same and the thirst for revenge is the only thing that motivates him to continue. Enclosed at the top of the Tower, he watches as the Citadel collapses, as the rebels try to control the internal riots and prepare for the counterattack of the army; his sight always fixed on the horizon. Meanwhile, the Bloodworth administration finalizes details of the plan that has been brewing for years and in which Dorian will play a key role. The countdown has begun. For some, war will be the end. For others, the beginning."--Cataloger translation of back cover.
