The Death Days are upon us.
A week ago sixteen-year-old Paeton became the face of the rebel movement. Her normal days of wandering the streets are gone and replaced with the troubles of keeping her toenails a shiny pink while walking around a compound full of soldiers. Despite her frustrations, she settles into happy days and hot dates with her new boyfriend.
However, the government hasn't been relaxing, and they quickly interrupt her days of serenity. Helicopters armed to the teeth tear into the compound, ripping apart the exterior. As fiery bullets slice into innocents, hundreds of police officers storm the compound. Before Paeton can think, she's knocked unconscious and sent to jail. As a stroke of luck, the semi-annual Death Days, a time where all prisoners kill each other off for a lighter sentence, is just beginning.
When the last of her world is caving in on her, she meets a mysterious man that begins to unravel a secret about her past. The secret changes everything Paeton knows about herself and those closest to her. Despite this knowledge, she still has to survive the forty-eight hours of the Death Days. With prisoners armed with axes, maces, clubs, and the occasional 9mm handgun, it'll be a fight to the finish with Paeton making impossible choices to stay alive.
