According to Romeo,
money is more poisonous than poison.
Answer:
Killer of Enemies is set in a world influenced by science fiction, steampunk, and dystopia. The Ones, who are humans with genetic enhancements and technological “upgrades,” rule everyone else. However, a magnetic storm known as the Cloud knocked all the technology out, and the world has returned to the steam age. Although many of the Ones died during the Cloud, some survived, and they’re more determined than ever to protect their position. They recruit slaves—anyone who is not a One—to keep them safe. Even though the Ones have lost their technological power, they still control the land, and people are too afraid to challenge them. Lozen tells her family that she plans on fleeing the compound and that they’ll leave with her. One night, they run, reaching a safe space in the desert. Lozen’s sure she can protect them, even if she doesn’t know where their journey will lead them next. Her choices form the basis of the trilogy’s second book.
