The city they fought for is gone. The ally they trusted is a lie. And the weapon that could destroy the world is still out there.
In the aftermath of Supreme Commander Martin's brutal aerial assault on Queenstown, the Underground is shattered. Hundreds of survivors flee into the wilderness with nothing but their lives and each other. The regime's hover planes have silenced the rebellion's heartbeat, but they haven't killed its leaders. Not yet.
With communication lines down, food supplies dwindling, and Martin's terrifying sono-nuclear device capable of obliterating entire nations at the push of a button, the Underground makes a desperate gamble. Two teams split off in opposite directions to do the impossible: convince the free world to go to war.
Harriet never wanted to be a hero. She wanted to be a doctor. She wanted her cousin Alma May to still be alive, not a ghost she's been carrying for ten years because grief had nowhere to go. But Queenstown is ash now and the only direction left is forward. Traveling deep into the Independent Republic of Texas alongside Marcos, she dares to hope that their oldest ally will finally give the Underground the one thing they've never had: backup.
What she finds instead will stop her cold.
Hidden inside a secret desk drawer compartment is a coded message that unravels everything. The IRT's warm welcome, the suspiciously smooth border crossing, the secretary with her own private office in a safe house she has no business occupying. One by one, the pieces fall together into a picture so chilling that Harriet and her team may not live to warn anyone about it.
Betrayed is the third pulse-pounding installment in the Divided Series, a young adult dystopian saga set in a fractured America where a ruthless Supreme Commander has kept an entire nation divided for forty-five years, and a scrappy underground resistance is finally ready to fight back.
Perfect for fans of: The Hunger Games, Divergent, Red Queen, An Ember in the Ashes, Legend, The Maze Runner, and Scythe.
