The Drift

In a future where the human race has split into three species, the mentally evolved Illuminatos have conquered the other two in a brutal Evolutionary War. Now, the seven most powerful Illuminatos, the Council, control the Earth, ruling over the other two human species through violent oppression.

Eight months after Tristan Faraday sacrificed his identity to save the woman he loved, the newest member of the Council faces danger on all sides. The woman he was programmed to care for, Emmeline Boucher, grows more unstable and dependent on him daily while he becomes embroiled in a deadly political game with the ruthless Head of the Council, Fang Chen, who will do anything—destroy anyone—to hold on to her power.

Tristan and Samara are reunited, but around them, everything else unravels. Two months have passed since their declaration of war against the Council split the world in two, and Fang has framed Tristan as the villain behind the death and destruction that now grip the planet—the very chaos she unleashed.
