McLemore society wife-in-training Dani has a great awakening after being recruited by rebel
spies and falling for her biggest rival. At the Medio School for Girls distinguished young
women are trained for one of two roles in their polarized society. Depending on her
specialization a graduate will one day run a husband's household or raise his children. Both
paths promise a life of comfort and luxury far from the frequent political uprisings of the
lower class. Daniela Vargas is the school's top student but her pedigree is a lie. She must
keep the truth hidden or be sent back to the fringes of society. And school couldn't prepare
her for the difficult choices she must make after graduation especially when she is asked to
spy for a resistance group desperately fighting to bring equality to Medio. Will Dani cling to
the privilege her parents fought to win for her or will she give up everything she's strived
for in pursuit of a free Medio?and a chance at a forbidden love?
