Across the Ruins: Sparks of Division

By Claire Donovan

Sparks of Division (Across the Ruins Trilogy, Book 1)

In 2030, America has fractured into warring territories, and seventeen-year-old Ella Harper lives behind the bulletproof walls of her father's Northern compound, believing the stories about Southern monsters until the day she watches an enemy soldier risk his life to save a civilian.

Cal Morrison carries his general father's legacy and the weight of military training that conflicts with his conscience. When a moment of mercy during battle locks eyes with a girl across enemy lines, everything he's been taught about hatred begins to crumble.

Their forbidden love blooms in bombed churches and abandoned ruins, but as Ella and Cal uncover a corporate conspiracy that profits from perpetual war, they must choose between family loyalty and a resistance that could expose the truth-or get them both executed as traitors.

With chemical weapons deployed and nuclear annihilation planned, two young hearts must prove that love can survive when everything else has been systematically destroyed for profit. In a world where enemies are manufactured and hope is treason, some connections are worth dying for.

A haunting dystopian romance that explores the price of manufactured hatred and the power of choosing love over fear.
