In a nation gripped by a sinister regime, where democracy has been extinguished and freedom hangs by a thread, an unimaginable battle unfolds between oppression and resistance in this heart-pounding dystopian thriller.

Once an inconceivable notion confined to distant lands and silver screens, the rise of a new regime has transformed an unsuspecting society into a dystopian nightmare. As insidious restrictions tighten their grip, the voice of the people fades into silence, leaving a vulnerable populace at the mercy of an unforgiving government.

Labeled as DEFIANTS, those who refuse to conform to the oppressive regime's demands find themselves on a treacherous path, forever marked and relentlessly pursued. Daily life becomes a struggle against scarcity as rationing engulfs vital resources, and the punishment for defiance is swift and merciless. There is no due process, no impartial courts, only the ruthless judgment of those in power, who dictate the fate of the noncompliant.

Amidst this bleak landscape, a choice must be succumb to the suffocating shackles of the new regime, forsaking personal liberties to escape imprisonment or execution, or rise up against the tyrannical forces, igniting an audacious rebellion to reclaim the nation's lost freedoms.

As the stakes reach a fever pitch and the consequences of both compliance and rebellion loom large, the protagonists must grapple with the weight of their decisions. In a world where justice has become an illusion and survival teeters on a razor's edge, alliances form, loyalties are tested, and the fight for a brighter future ignites a blaze that could either restore hope or consume them all.

Prepare to be swept away in a riveting tale of resilience and defiance, where the human spirit battles against unimaginable odds. In a society where the line between right and wrong blurs, the question Will the relentless pursuit of freedom prevail, or will the darkness of oppression prevail unchallenged?

Enter a world on the brink, where the fate of an entire nation rests in the hands of the brave and the defiant.

The story starts simple enough, then after the election and the changes that ensued I was left thinking, this story is a bit crazy and wasn't sure to carry on. As the new changes take place and the more I carried on listening I feel the story started to come together and I was thinking, "what else is going to happen". By the end of the story I am left thinking, wow, this is a very good and well written novel and I can't wait for the next book.
Definitely worth reading.
This review is based on an audiobook free from audiobook unleashed and I wanted to give an honest review.

This story really gets you thinking how quick life can change when power is used against people. The story was fast paced and intriguing to find out what happens next! The narrator was soo good and versatile.

It held my interest, but was way too radical. It seemed completely impossible how everything happened so quickly. Scary idea though.
