Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read what to
watch what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony
Cassia knows he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant
before the screen fades to black. The Society tells her it's a glitch a rare malfunction and
that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't
stop thinking about Ky and as they slowly fall in love Cassia begins to doubt the Society's
infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky between the only
life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.
