From author and body-positive activist Leah Vernon comes a daring
dystopian novel that explores the power of friendship in a future
society built on violence and division. A thousand years in the
future, a Black elite class reigns. The lower classes toil in the
fields or scrape by in blighted cities, serving their rulers in a
cruel, divided world. Among the Elites is eighteen-year-old Avi
Jore, born to a powerful father and destined to rule. But as she
comes of age, Avi cannot help but notice the injustices in her
world-the treatment of enslaved workers, the oppression of the
lower classes. Her disillusionment grows when she meets Saige
Wilde, a mixed-race enslaved girl whose only goal is escaping
beyond the borders of their brutal nation. When Saige saves Avi
from an assassination attempt, their paths become intertwined in
ways they never imagined. As Saige plots her path to freedom, Avi
tries to enact change from the inside. But it's a complicated
endeavor, fraught with danger and malice. Together, their efforts
could spark a revolution-and underscore the staggering power of
friendship. Publisher Note: This title was previously
self-published as Impure. This edition of The Union includes
substantial editorial revisions.
