Retrograde
Neress is in disarray.
The once-idyllic nation is now in the throes of a civil war. Its embattled president, the untested Alanna Jensen Callister, is merely the face of the government but is determined to hold the country together amidst the chaos that threatens to split it right down the middle.
Still hoping for peace, Alanna agrees to meet with her estranged sister, Ryla, believing that together, they can save the country from further destruction. But when she discovers that she and Ryla have never stood further apart in their desires for the future of Neress, she realizes it may be too late to salvage what’s been broken. There could be no going back from the choices she must now make.
As Alanna seeks more power and control over the nation she once swore to protect and care for, she risks losing the support of her people—and any chance at reconciliation with the sister she just can’t let go.
