Synopsis
Deception is the sequel to Defiance and follows the warrior Rachel Adams and her love, Logan McEntire. Their city-state of Baalboden has been destroyed, rival armies threaten them, and a ragged group of survivors looks to them for leadership. With the Commander's whereabouts unknown, the group leaves the ruins of home for the Wasteland. There, an unknown killer, possibly within their own ranks, begins picking off the survivors one by one. Rachel and Logan must consider whether freedom costs too much and whether anyone will survive the Wasteland.
