Summary from
Goodreads:
After a
mysterious virus makes its way into the United States, the government demands
that states seal themselves off from one another and do their best to protect
their surviving residents. When the state of Florida is bordered off from the
surrounding states, Taylen Fincher, a seventeen-year-old girl with a yearning
for her former life finds herself wondering how much of what they’ve been told
is true.
When Troum took control of the state, he told the residents that the other states had fallen to the virus and that he wouldn’t allow the same thing to happen to them. But Taylen doesn’t believe it. She insists that there is still life outside of the state, and she is going to do whatever it takes to prove it… but her actions will cost her more than she ever expected.
Troum kidnaps Taylen’s sister, Penelope, in hopes of coaxing her into behaving – into being a submissive resident, much like the others. But Taylen isn’t one to give in that easily.
Eager to rescue her sister, Taylen will set out on an adventure that’ll force her to open her heart to the unexpected and to uncover secrets that will change everything.
SUBMERGED is the first book in a YA dystopian duology.

~Excerpt~
Together. The fact that one single word could send my heart
aflutter was utterly ridiculous. I didn’t fall for boys I hardly knew. At
least, I hadn’t until I met Glate.
The
night in the shack, things changed between us. The walls I’d built up once the
Sectors were formed? Glate had torn them down, and I knew that Lex could see
that by the daggers he kept shooting our way.
Was
I in love with Glate? No, though I was sure Lex thought otherwise.
Glate
was the stability I sought in a world of discord; being with him made things
easier to handle. I wasn’t weak, but even I had my breaking point, and when I was
ready to break, he was there to pick up all of the pieces. He was there,
something I could never say for Lex.
“Thank
you,” I said after a few moments of silence. “For everything.”
“Everyone
needs a shoulder to lean on,” he said. “I’m more than willing to be that
shoulder for you, Taylen. I’m willing to be whatever you need me to be. Just
know that.”
