About this listen

In the first book of a sizzling dystopian romance series, psychic gifts are a death sentence and there are rules to survival: Trust no one. Lie to everyone. And whatever you do, don’t fall for your greatest enemy.

TRUST NO ONE.

Wren Darlington has spent her whole life in hiding, honing her psychic abilities and aiding the rebel Uprising in small ways. On the Continent, being Modified means certain death—and Wren is one of the most powerful Mods in existence. When one careless mistake places her in the hands of the enemy and she’s forced to join their most elite training program, she’s finally handed the perfect opportunity to strike a devastating blow from inside their ranks.

LIE TO EVERYONE.

But training for Silver Block can be deadly, especially when you’re harboring dangerous secrets and living in close quarters with everyone who wants you dead.

AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T FALL FOR YOUR GREATEST ENEMY.

As the stakes grow ever higher, Wren must prove herself to Silver Block. But that’s easier said than done when your commanding officer is the ruthless and infuriatingly irresistible Cross Redden, who doesn’t miss anything when it comes to her. And as war rages between Mods like her and those who aim to destroy them, Wren must decide just how far she’s willing to go to protect herself . . . and how much of the Continent is worth saving.

Critic reviews

“Dani Francis wrote the adult dystopian romance I’ve been wanting to read for the longest time, and she gave me everything I craved and more! I’m absolutely obsessed, and I need the next book in the series injected into my vein right now. This book starts with a bang, and it only becomes more and more exciting as the story progresses. I could not put it down—Dani Francis is a rock star, and I’m so happy she’s bringing dystopia back!”—Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

“Thoroughly addictive—I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.”—L. K. Steven, author of Silvercloak

Editorial Review

A new series to obsess over
A dystopian, enemies-to-lovers tale with a powerful heroine and a dash of fantasy? Dani Francis, did you write this for me? Needless to say, I inhaled this debut, which hooked me from the outset with its air of mystery and surprising humor. Wren Darlington has spent her life hiding—both her true identity (which even she doesn’t know) and her powerful psychic abilities that would mean death by execution. Both by chance and by her own mistakes, she lands herself in the Continent’s military training program where she now has the opportunity to join the rebellion of Modifieds (like herself) and cause chaos from inside enemy lines. One problem (among many): Her attraction to her commanding officer. Amanda Dolan (Red Queen) is perfectly cast as Wren, and the twists that come in the final third of the book already have me aching for a sequel. —Katie O., Audible Editor

📖 I’ve been excited about this book since I saw it on IG a couple months ago. Coming off quite a few incredible fantasy books and having heard this compared to some of my fav series from youth (Hunger Games, Divergent, etc), I came in with some seriously high expectations… and I feel like Dani absolutely SLAYED!! The plot really took off right from the start and she expertly built the dystopian world for us as our FMC struggled through some very difficult situations. I thought she did a fantastic job showing me instead of telling me and set up just the right amount of knowledge while leaving room for surprises, twists, and turns. The tension and slow burn between our couple was delicious. The life or death secrets surrounding them kept the stakes high and the plot hopping. I absolutely can’t wait for the next book in the series!!

🎧 This was my first time listening to Amanda Dolan, and at first her voice sounded a little sharp to my ear. But once I got into this and got to know Wren’s character, I realized her narration was actually pretty spot on. Wren is bold, fearless, and powerful, so a strong, bold voice is the only thing that makes sense! Amanda also did a great job with the other characters voices, giving unique sounds to our fav side characters and of course the hunky captain.

THE READ OF THE YEAR

This was amazing right off the bat. This will definitely be the read of the year. It’s unique but has elements of all the best fantasy series like Fourth Wing, Hunger Games, Quicksilver. You will not regret this read!!!

Kept me up at night

I stayed up way too late reading this book. I did not want to put it down. The characters were developed really well, and the main characters were excellent along with their side characters. There were twist and turns that surprised you. I agree with the comparison with fourth wing and hunger games, but it was very unique system excellent first book I would read it again. And I really look forward to the future books!!

so good!

🚨Some spoilers beyond this point:





This story is so unique. The world is set in a post apocalyptic future. There are the Primes (normal) and the Mods (psychic abilities).
Wren is our MFC who is a Mod. She is in hiding with her "uncle". The government hunts down mods and detains them or executes them. they are seen as enemies. Wren and her uncle just want to be left alone to run their ranch in peace. but when she makes an impossible shot that kills a coyote that was attacking a child, it doesn't go unnoticed. A string of events lead to her eventual capture where she is forced to hide her identity while competing to be in the silver elite which is the navy seals of their military. But of course we cannot forget the super hot Comanding officer, Cross, that she might of had a very memorable encounter with at her hometown before she was arrested under suspicion of being a Mod then forced to participate in trying out for the Silver Elite. Enemies to lovers, bad ass heroine, controlling alpha male and the tension is palpable. Usually I'm partial to a duet or dual voices but Amanda does such a awesome job.
