Ядерный апокалипсис расколол не только землю, но и само время, безвозвратно поделив его на До и После, на Старую и Новую Эру. А еще он поделил людей. Столь же безжалостно и безвозвратно. Говорят, что близнецы стали массово появляться уже после Долгой Зимы, во втором и третьем поколениях Новой Эры. Теперь, по прошествии четырехсот лет после Взрыва, дети рожаются всегда по двое: мальчик и девочка. Здоровый, сильный и физически безупречный Альфа и хилый, уродливый, бесплодный Омега. Угнетатель и угнетаемый. Господин и слуга. Совершенство и ущербность. Но даже Альфы не в силах отменить безжалостного закона: люди не только рождаются парами.…

Cass is left haunted by visions of the past, while her brother Zach’s cruelty and obsession pushes her to the edge, and threatens to destroy everything she hopes for.

As the country moves closer to all-out civil war, Cass will learn that to change the future she will need to uncover the past. But nothing can prepare her for what she discovers: a deeply buried secret that raises the stakes higher than ever before.
