The Sovereign (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781641119238)

RESIST. PROTECT. DESTROY.

After a century of endless wars to change the tides of economies across the globe, the North American Union is on the verge of civil war. With technology blended into the cellular makeup of life, Union President Maxwell Waterhouse plans to usher in the new century as the Head of the International Governance Council by any means necessary - and his citizens are on to him. Having raised up a ruthless military backing and groomed an iron-synthetic fist, he calls on his strength of intellectual will to capture the coveted IGC seat and all that comes with it, chopping down every road block - living or synthetic, foreign or domestic - in his path.

The last standing Swamplands rebel leader Aria Elizondo has a more valuable and discrete way to survive. Under Waterhouse's society of surveillance, she's secretly protected and moved along contraband smugglers and rebel informants on the Night Watch Circuit. For years she lives undetected until one night of chaos forces her to make decisions that could cost her, and anyone associated with her, everything.

Or her choices could lead her to victory. But in this world, victory is not what it appears.
