Synopsis

The world is divided. On the Continent, you’re either a Prime—immune to the biotoxin that nearly wiped out the Earth’s population 150 years ago—or a Modified, one who was enhanced by the toxin, developing powerful psychic gifts.

As conflict rages between the two sides, Wren Darlington lives in hiding. Occasionally running the odd op for the rebel Uprising against the Primes’ oppressive rule, she must keep a low profile. After all, if the enemy finds out that she is a Mod with a staggering four psychic abilities, she won’t just be sent to the labor camps. She’ll be executed—immediately and without trial.

When a careless mistake puts Wren in the crosshairs of the Continent’s military, she is taken captive and forced to join their most elite Silver Block. Unwittingly, they’ve handed her the perfect opportunity for the Uprising to strike a devastating blow from inside their ranks. That is, if she can keep her powers hidden, survive training, and prove herself to Cross Redden, her maddeningly cocky commanding officer.

Despite the explosive chemistry between them, Cross doesn’t trust her—even as he seems determined to destroy the remaining shreds of Wren’s self-control. Yet as the war between Primes and Mods escalates, and as Wren and Cross find themselves unable to stay away from each other, they must decide how far they’re willing to go for their secrets—and how much of the Continent is worth saving.

CHAPTER 1

I grew up in pure, unceasing, suffocating darkness.

I’d like to say that’s an exaggeration, but it’s not. I was only five years old when my uncle smuggled me out of the city and took me to live in the Blacklands, the place of children’s nightmares. A forest of perpetual darkness. I remember my eyes widening when I first saw it: the ominous black mist rising from the earth and hovering far above the top canopy of the trees. I remember bone-­deep dread and then throat-­closing panic when we were engulfed in the pitch black. I remember how, less than an hour into the trek, I tripped over a skull. I knelt to examine what made me stumble, and although I couldn’t see a thing, I could feel the gaping eye sockets, could run my fingers over smooth, weathered bone.

When I asked Uncle Jim what it was, he said, “Just a rock.”

Even at the age of five, I wasn’t that easy to fool.

It wouldn’t be the last skeleton we came across in the three years we spent in the Blacklands, but by the time we returned to civilization, fear and I were old friends. These days, a predator could lunge for my throat, and I wouldn’t blink. A Command jet could drop a bomb on our house, and my heart rate would remain steady.

When you’re petrified on a daily basis as a child, there aren’t many things left to fear as an adult.

Except, perhaps, awkward conversations.

I would rather fight a cougar barehanded than subject myself to an uncomfortable exchange. Truly.

Why I love it

Have you been craving a story that reminds you of those dystopian novels you devoured when you were younger? Are you itching to read a story about a heroine hell-bent on taking down her corrupt government? Or are you looking for the next swoon-worthy romantasy couple that you can’t stop obsessing over? If your answer to any, or all, of these questions is yes, then I have fantastic news—Silver Elite is a selection at Book of the Month.

Silver Elite follows Wren Darlington, a woman who has been hiding her identity as a Modified human for most of her life. When a biotoxin wiped out most of Earth’s population over 150 years ago, some people were immune to the toxin, while others, like Wren, gained psychic abilities. Wren has spent her life fighting against the oppressive government called the Continent, who have killed many Modified humans. After a series of events land her in the Continent’s military academy, she must do everything she can to keep her true identity a secret and gain the trust of her annoyingly cocky, handsome, and suspicious commanding officer, Cross Redden.

Silver Elite is a must-read for anyone who wants fantastic worldbuilding, steamy romance, and unforgettable characters. Let yourself be swept up in Wren’s story—it just might be your favorite read of the year.
