The Underground

Maynard, Case

After destroying the Southeastern System, Vee and her companions make their way north to continue in the fight against The Tax.

Discovering the Union’s war has already reached New England and has left the region destitute and its people on the verge of starvation, Vee joins forces with a group of brilliant inventors who are working to form an independent government below the ruins of New York City. Eager to make amends for what she feels is her fault, Vee will do just about anything to help the city recover from the losses they saw at the hands of her own army.

But when she’s coerced into assassinating the local Master and discovers he’s not at all what she expected, Vee is made to wonder what exactly it is that defines a person as good or bad. Is it who people are that makes them evil, or is it what they do?

With her own morality hanging in the balance, Vee must decide if the path she’s chosen is the right one for the children after all, and, if it is, just how far is she willing to go to see them to freedom?

With the System on the verge of complete annihilation and new factions of freethinkers emerging, Vee knows she must find a way to end the Commander’s rule quickly—and by any means necessary.

When the Union arrives in New England, it’s to discover their rebellion has already reached this part of the country. Food stores are low, medical supplies are nonexistent, and without the coal from nearby Mines, the residents are on the verge of freezing to death.

Guilt-ridden because of the role she played in the region’s downfall, and refusing to be the cause of anymore suffering, Vee is coerced into working with a group of brilliant scientists who hope to form an independent government below the ruins of New York City. But when she’s asked to assassinate an opposing leader, Vee has no choice but to reevaluate her own morality and examine just how far she’ll really go to see victory in the war against The Tax.
