Recompense by Michelle Isenhoff

Born into Capernica’s lowest social tier, Jack Holloway gambles on the one chance available to advance—testing into Military caste. But if she fails the stringent physical standards and her friend Will succeeds, she won’t be allowed to see him again for twenty years. Meanwhile, Capernican girls are vanishing. Jack’s score lands her on an investigative team where she is to serve as bait. The case leads back forty-seven years to a series of high-profile cover-ups linked to Capernica’s tumultuous formation. But nothing prepares Jack and her partner Ethan for the face that emerges from the lawlessness of the past. The first in a startling dystopian series where past and present intertwine, fusing at the point of revolution.
