Bones - Shelby Manuel

Nora
The absolute last thing that I want to do with my faction, is the only thing I can do to save it. Aligning with Fog means risking the peace that we've created here in Bones. And it means exposing us to those controlling, omnipotent, monsters. Fog will forever and always be my enemy, but I'd do anything to get through this war with as few casualties as possible. And I'd do even more to be close to my sister again. Even if that does mean working with the man that I loathe the most. The confusing, lethal, captivatingly intense leader of Fog.

Theo
This is worst case scenario for me. I lose the trust of my faction, or align with the people who murdered my parents, attacked my home, and tried to kidnap my family. Not to mention, she shot me. Everyone seems to have forgotten that. I'll go along with this, but I won't trust her, I won't give her an inch of leeway, and I won't take my eyes off her as she stalks her prey like the lioness that I know she is. Deadly. I can't take my eyes off her.

War has finally broken out in Red River. Lawlessness, chaos, the death of both his parents, the weight of this war, and the welfare of millions of people all sit heavy on Theo's shoulders.
Nora is thrust to the front of her faction, completely unprepared, but utterly determined not to let anyone stand in the way of winning this war and getting her sister back.
Can they both put aside their history of hate to win this war? Can two people who practically explode every room that they're in, focus their hate to take down their adversaries? Is it the smartest decision to keep your enemies close when they keep trying to kill you? When passion starts to bloom in the violence, can Nora and Theo accept it, or will the weight of Red River crush them both?
