About this listen
In a post-apocalyptic world devastated by a social-economic collapse, Haven Segreti is forced to conform and serve as a member of an elite administrative pack behind the community walls of the New Republic. She faces difficult choices, torn between an illicit liaison with her mentor, Adrien, and a chance of a deeper connection with a troubled young man set on revenge.
Between submitting to the world or rebelling against it, between helping her friends flee to a better future, or saving the family she left behind.
Meanwhile, Adrien Damaso, the protege of the President of the Ruling Council, manipulates people and circumstances toward his own subversive ends, leaving a trail of gruesome murders in his wake. He may prove her best ally if he doesn't kill them first.
To the west, Nathan Hambrice wakes from a coma to find the world he knew is gone. With the aid of a military leader, Nathan travels east in search of his family and Haven's mother, Alexandra, whose family compound may have survived the collapse. However, Nathan's incursion into the New Republic puts him and anyone who helps him in grave danger.
As their paths collide, the three must navigate a dangerous landscape where their choices will determine not only their own fate, but the fate of a nation.
This dystopian thriller weaves engaging characters through an allegorical tale that plays American political theory against opposing ideologies and current social, political, and philosophical issues for a terrifying view of a future it may be too late to avoid.

It's fall 2007. A well-timed leak has revealed that the US government might have engaged in first contact. Cora Sabino is doing everything she can to avoid the whole mess, since the force driving the controversy is her whistleblower father. Even though Cora hasn't spoken to him in years, his celebrity has caught the attention of the press, the internet, the paparazzi, and the government - and with him in hiding, that attention is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her father's leaks are a hoax and wants nothing to do with him.

To the vampires who dominate each quadrant of the Lydian Dynasty, I'm only known as "Blackbird" - a masked vigilante who, at 19, is already public enemy number one. To what's left of humanity, I've been called a superhero, a title I neither welcome nor deserve. My only objective is to offer the enslaved what was stolen from us.... Freedom. However, a failed plan lands me in the last place I imagined, at the mercy of all four Dynasty princes - Julian, Levi, Roman, and Silas.

Cadence and her sister possess the seeds of glory and ruin—or so their father always insisted. Cadence never understood what he meant until Airlie’s seed of power is activated, turning her into the most powerful mage in generations. Despite knowing it must mean her own dormant seed is much more malevolent, Cadence is swept away to the distant Mage’s Guild in her sister’s wake. She’s used to living in Airlie’s shadow, but she can’t see a place for herself in this new world. Nor can she believe in the apparent interest of the charming Zeke. No one has ever chosen her over her beautiful sister.

My father was ruthless. Cold. Calculated. Formidable. Every decision. Every step. Every thought. Every breath he controlled. I never thought anyone could despise him as much as I did. I was wrong. So wrong. There was one person. He wanted revenge. I was the willing pawn. He was dangerous, beautiful, broken, and most of all a way to get back at my father. But there’s one thing I didn’t count on...falling in love.

The author, Julie A. Fragoules weaves a story pulling from today’s headlines and political unrest to create this story. It is engaging and horrifying at the same time. As the listener, one cannot help but make connections between events in the book and current-day events. Fragoules is clever and talented at subtly hitting very close to home with the subject matter. Further, the characters are intense and distinct. The plot twists are well executed and not always expected. The building of the storyline and character development is deliberate and slow.
The narrator, Randy McCarten, delivers a smooth and sharp performance capturing and projecting the personality of each character in vivid detail. The quality of his performance further enhances the story capturing the imagination of each listener and the personality of each character.
This is an interesting and captivating story, but it hits very close to the real situation at home which makes it more horrifying.
