The Sowing (The Torch Keeper)

Lucky Spark may have crossed the Establishment for the last time. Having survived the ordeal of Recruitment, Lucian "Lucky" Spark leads a double life. By day, he trains to become one of the Establishment elite. At night, he undermines the Establishment's totalitarian rule with secret midnight raids against their compounds. But when he's caught trying to assassinate members of the Establishment hierarchy—including his former lover, Cassius Thorn—Lucky and his fellow trainees find themselves facing an all-new kind of Recruitment. This time, instead of choosing who will die, Lucky will be an Incentive, a sacrificial lamb on the wrong side of the Establishment's brutal competition. As an Incentive, nothing stands between Lucky and certain death—except the choices made by the new school of Recruits.
