When a mysterious old man shows her a way to fight back, Gwen realizes she might be able to change more than just her own fate.\nWhen their paths collide, Patch and Gwen must decide what a revolution looks like in a world with no government left to overthrow — and what they’re willing to sacrifice to spark it.\nA world built on “perfect order.”\nTwo teens who refuse to stay in their place.\nA choice that could rewrite the future.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B09K1WVDJ3\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.B09K1WVDJ3.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bentley, Chris\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
