The Resistance (The Uncloaked Trilogy Book 1)

Description

One choice will redefine everything.

In an America where the newly-formed government is becoming increasingly dictatorial, 16-year-old Braxton Luther simply wants the peaceful life he once knew.

His father, a famous preacher and outspoken critic of the regime, has cost them their home and almost all social acceptance as a result of his opposition, forcing the Luthers to move in with the Knight family. Even the loss of home and security isn’t enough to quell his father’s resistance, and after he holds a secret meeting in the Knight’s home, government agents track them down and the Knight’s home is burned to the ground. The following day, Braxton’s father is publicly executed.

Escaping with his best friend, Eliza Knight, Braxton resolves to protect her, and he is determined to do it better than his father had done. He joins the Jackals, a government organization for young men, believing that compliance is the safest choice, the one that will bring back their comfortable lives and security.

But once within the Jackals, his eyes are opened to the true nature of what his father stood against. A darkness is spreading, more evil than he’d ever imagined. Suddenly Braxton understands.

Defiance is no longer optional.
