Nearly 30 years ago, the PEACE Project rose from the ruins of a global war to take power over a new America. Providing stability in exchange for absolute authority, the Project controls every aspect of citizens’ lives through each of its five units:
Protect
Enforce
Advance
Control
Eliminate
Raised in the Project since infancy, eighteen-year-old Zira has been trained as an assassin under the stern guidance of unit E-2’s Chairman Ryku. After she makes a careless mistake on an assignment, the chairman partners her with Jared, the best operative in her unit. Their partnership transforms into friendship as they work together and learn to rely on each other. But when misinformation causes a solo mission to backfire, Zira’s deepest loyalties and strongest relationships are tested in a place where even a hint of doubt can be perceived as treason.
The life she knows is falling apart, and nothing will ever look the same again.

My thoughts: Zira has been raised inside the PEACE Project, she knows no different, trained to assassinate the Project’s enemies for her Chairman – she’s one of the youngest so far. But after an accident on a job, she begins to see things from a different perspective. One that makes her ask questions.
It puts her relationship with Jared under strain and with the Chairman, who doesn’t trust her all of a sudden. Maybe the Project isn’t the force for good they’ve all been raised to believe.
The first in a protected series, this is a smart Dystopian read with a controlling power that might be taking it too far and a young woman who needs to find her own way in a world where all she believes might be false.
