Description:
Sixteen year-old Madeline
has struggled with epilepsy for most of her adolescent life, leaving
her something of a social pariah. Things go from bad to worse
when she wakes up from her first grand mal seizure in an extremely
unfamiliar world but surrounded but familiar faces. Her hometown is in ruins,
the aftermath of a Cold War turned hot.
Thomas, the boy that
stomped on her heart a year ago, and his brother Brandon have been hiding her
away since the explosion that killed her parents. The Lord Commander, now
running the southern territories, believes Madeline died with them and the
brothers need to keep it that way.
The biggest problem? The
explosion happened when she was twelve.
Madeline isn’t sure what to believe. The brothers insist her memories must be of a dream life she created while in her coma. But when she returns to the reality she knows, they insist this war-torn world must be the dream. She doesn’t know if she’s truly caught in the middle of a brewing rebellion or teetering on the brink of insanity. As she finds herself flipping between the two lives, her heart becomes torn between two versions of the same boy and the lines between her realities begin to blur.

About Mara Valderran:
Picture
Mara
Valderran is an author of young adult and new adult books, but she's more than
just a madwoman with a writing box. She is an avid reader and fan of all things
sci-fi and fantasy. She loves roller skating and movies, though typically not
together. She hopes to one day meet Daniel Jackson from SG1, or at least the
actor who played him. When she’s not writing, you can find her reading, playing
video games, or counting down the days until DragonCon.
Her debut
novel, HEIRS OF WAR, has been met with great reviews and was featured on
Wattpad in 2013, raking in over 600k reads. The series continues with the
second book, HEIRS OF WAR, CROWN OF FLAMES, released in Summer 2014. Her short
story “The Austenation” will is included in the Borderlands Anthology and she
is looking forward to publishing her young adult dystopian ALTAR OF REALITY
with Curiosity Quills Spring 2015.
