In a fragmented future United States ruled by the lavish gentry, sixteen-year-old Madeline Landry dreams of going to the university. Unfortunately, gentry decorum and her domineering father won't allow that. Madeline must marry and run the family estate. But when she discovers the devastating consequences her lifestyle is having on those less fortunate, Madeline begins to question every - thing she has ever learned. All the while, she finds herself increasingly drawn to the handsome, beguiling David Dana. Soon, rumors of rebellion start to spread, and she must make the choice between her duty—her family, her charmed life, and the estate she loves dearly— or her desire for justice.
