The Uprising is gaining ground. But supplies are scarce, and the Aristocracy is more powerful than anyone ever imagined. Ash's fight may be unwinnable...but the affection of a certain young man may just give her the strength she needs to persevere.

When Ashen heads east to New York City to find Finn's brother, she finds herself confronted by an entirely new set of problems. The city is a war zone overshadowed by the Behemoth, the largest Arcology in existence. Few are allowed entry, and those who go in never leave. At first, Ashen assumes the power structure is one she knows well: Directorate vs. Dregs, Wealthy vs. Poor. She's seen this fight before, and she knows how to win it. She soon discovers that the power in New York is held entirely by one young man. Known only as the Bishop, he's mysterious, unnervingly handsome, and smooth-voiced. His allure is undeniable, despite his tendency toward cruelty. But as Ashen gets to know him, she begins to question how he managed to gain so much power at such a young age. Who is the Bishop, really? And where did he come from? The even more mysterious question is.... What exactly goes on inside the Behemoth?

After barely escaping with her life, Ashen finds her way home to the Arc, thanks to the help of an old friend. After a long absence, Ash isn’t sure what she’s about to find. The Bishop’s deception and cruelty have turned her world upside down, leaving her reeling as a wedge is driven between her and Finn, forcing them to live separate lives. Worse still, when she arrives, she is faced with the challenge of proving to the Arc’s leaders that she’s telling the truth about all that has happened since she left home. As she fights an impossible uphill battle, she must confront betrayal, lies, and heartbreaking loss that will either lead to her vindication or her ultimate downfall. With enemies vanquished, alliances solidified, and old friendships renewed, the end seems near for Ash in her final battle against tyranny… Or is it? Reign is the fifth and final book in The Cure Chronicles Series.
