ONE TEST. ONE SERUM. ONE TRUTH.
Seventeen-year-old Amrey X has one fatal flaw. She can lie in a city forced to speak the truth. For 200 years, citizens of Axiom have been subjected to a truth serum. Forced to stand oath from the age of seven. And for 10 years Amrey has conformed.
Until now.
Things are changing. The Axiom Government has caught wind of an immune and will stop at nothing to hunt them down. Amrey must leave, but it will have a cost. Unsure who to trust, she finds herself drawn to a boy, whose wit and charm may be more of a distraction than she can handle. And when confronted by a figure of her past, Amrey must deal with a shocking truth she wasn’t prepared for. And make a choice that could change everything.
TWO TRIALS. TWO HEARTS. TWO DEATHS.
Amrey survived Dane’s torture, and saved the subversives. It should have been the end, but it was just the beginning.
When the bullet rang out and her mother fell, Amrey was whisked away from Axiom, leaving Dane with the key to his ultimate weapon—her DNA. Now, with the power to mass-produce his mind-control serum, Dane’s army is growing, and Amrey is forced to watch. Confined by the strict rules of the Defiance, she struggles to move on. With Kale firmly by her side and Jaxon grappling with his new identity, tensions rise within their ranks. Especially as new faces join the Defiance, bringing buried secrets to light. Meanwhile, Dane’s reach is expanding, more people are dying, and stopping him may cost Amrey everything.

Quotes from the Axiom Series
“Nothing like meeting your husband and accusing him of murder on the same day.”
“Because when everyone’s made to tell the truth, no one questions whether you really are.”
“Amrey, you might intrigue me, but I didn’t kill a man for you. At least, not yet.”
In this moment, we’re all that exist. All that matters. Until he pulls away. “If only I hated you.”
