White House Press Secretary Olennia Fraser finds her life gone. A perfect copy of her-polished, confident, eerily perfect and precise-now stands at the President's side, shaping public opinion and pushing the country toward a dangerous confrontation with the rising power of Vareshka. Branded unstable and hidden away, Olennia must fight to reclaim her freedom and her identity before her clone ushers the nation into war.

But Olennia isn't the only target. Parson Brunweiger, the President's Chief of Staff-and the man Olennia secretly loves-is being quietly cut out of his own administration.
