Having ingratiated herself with the top-ranking soldiers, Layna is discovering that the hardest part of her job is only just beginning. Back on The Inside, the teenage residents are learning to juggle jealousy, heartache and potentially explosive secrets.

Storm clouds are gathering on the horizons of this fractured world, and when lightning strikes, nothing will ever be the same. In the long-awaited sequel to the award-winning Inside Out the stakes have been raised and all those involved are about to learn that danger is closer to home than any of them can imagine.

Now the Insiders must watch as the world they love collapses around them while the government resort to increasingly desperate tactics to try and contain the Outside threat. When the latest initiative catapults one of the young into the heart of the war, everything is pushed to breaking point. Loyalties will be tested. Lives will be risked. Their worlds will change forever.
