From author Leah Vernon comes the action-packed second installment
in the Union series about a young woman’s battle for power in a
racially divided futuristic world. A thousand years into the
future, a Black elite class reigns while the underclass toils at
their feet. With her society’s future hanging in the balance,
young Avi Jore enters into an arranged marriage. But the ceremony
turns violent when the servants rebel and kill Avi’s father. In
the aftermath of General Jore’s death, Avi and her sister Jade
vie for power in a vicious contest. As the rightful heir, Avi has
no choice but to defend what’s hers—at any cost. With her
loyalties tested and her enemies closing in, Avi must rely on her
sister Saige, who searches for allies outside the Union’s walls.
As Avi and Saige navigate threats and betrayals in the wake of
worsening unrest, they forge a path forward that could forever
change their turbulent world.

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.
