He is a Legend.
She is a Prodigy.
Who will be Champion?
June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic—and each other—and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps-Elect, while Day has been assigned a high-level military position.
But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them: just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republic’s border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country’s defense. But saving the lives of thousands will mean asking the one she loves to give up everything.
With heart-pounding action and suspense, Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion.

What an absolute crazy ride this whole series has been. Kind of sad that I've finished this series.
Readers meet up with Day and June and the Republic as they continue to fight against the colonies. Day is growing weaker from his condition and it is finally revealed to June of how serious his condition also is. The colonies are now wanting a cure to a plague they claim the Republic gave to them. That if they do not produce it they will revolt against them. Little do they know the colonies are not exactly being honest with how the "plague" truly got its form.
The colonies are now invading and it's up to June, Day and Anden to find a cure, which could be linked to Day's brother Eden. Could he actually hold the cure?
The book's ending, to me is just heartbreaking. If you want to read the book, then I suggest you not read this any further because it is a spoiler. I actually cried at the end when Day is dying and then again when he wakes up months later and cannot remember anything about June. I wanted to scream "Why let them have all of that and then not remember her!!!" Though I also feel like there was an opening left at the end.
Such a great series.
