After the End of All Things, The Ten Colony Council enslaved all of the Third Class Citizens (the Smarts who helped destroy the world) in order to protect the more upright members of the dwindling population. Jade Doe is one of these Thirds, learning to control her inherent Knowledge so that she can redeem herself by aiding the society in which she lives. When she learns of a deadly secret, however, she must make a decision: Should she risk her life, her friends, and her very soul in order to bring freedom to all of what's left of mankind? Or should she do as she's always been told and devote her life to the voracious, violent, virtuous First whom she must serve until the day she dies?

In the second book of the Rebel Third series, the Third rebellion continues. Thirds from all over the Ten Colonies gather in Erroris to train and plan in order to overthrow the Doctors, and Cameron (an eager leader) readily seizes command. Not everyone agrees with his methods, however, and an important question remains Can you build a better world on the bones of murder? With this question in mind, Seconds and Thirds must unite to topple the oligarchy that plagues their land—slaves working alongside former masters as discord smolders from within.

In the third and final book of the Rebel Thirds series, Jade Doe finds herself nearly crippled by grief and hopelessness. How can she continue to fight in the face of so much death and suffering? Though her pool of rebel support dwindles, she learns that she is not alone. Alongside friends old and new, living and dead, she will journey back to Liminis in order to finish what she started. What they all started. They know they can’t win. But they can raise hell, even as they plummet together into extinction. Because maybe—just maybe—it will be enough to change a mind. And really, that’s all it takes to change everything.
