Bookroo's summary

In a world where the Axis powers triumphed, Ren Cabot lives under the oppressive rule of Imperial Japan. Haunted by his mother's execution, Ren seizes a chance to join a resistance group. As he delves deeper into their dangerous mission, he faces a perilous path that could either liberate his people or lead to a fate worse than death. Will Ren's courage be enough to ignite change, or will the empire's iron fist crush his hopes? Dive into a gripping tale of rebellion and sacrifice.

From the publisher

What if the Axis powers had won World War II?In the eighty years since the Axis powers won World War II with their genetically engineered super soldiers, America has changed drastically in the hands of the unforgiving victors. But there are still those who aspire to what the country used to stand for: freedom for all.In the Western American Territories, Ren Cabot has lost nearly everything to Imperial Japan’s rule. After the public execution of his mom for treason five years ago, Ren and his family live under constant scrutiny of the Empire, afraid that one wrong step will rip apart what remains of their family for good. However, when a chance encounter with a resistance group offers Ren an opportunity to save lives and quite possibly topple the government, he agrees to their deadly plot. But his role will lead him straight into the heart of the enemy, and if caught, death would be a much better fate than what the Empire will do to him. . . .
