In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by war, humanity has become a weaponized shadow of its former self. Children are stripped of names, raised in brutal compounds, and trained from birth to be soldiers. Emotions are weakness. Compassion is treason. Survival is everything.
Seventeen-year-old #M46880-known to no one as Jamie-is the kind of soul this world was designed to crush. Small, gentle, and mute from years of abuse, Jamie has survived longer than anyone expected. But when he's pulled from his desolate compound by beings humanity has long feared-immortal watchers from another realm-his story doesn't end.
It begins.
In a world where time flows differently and immortals live in quiet harmony, Jamie is still a child. There, he's adopted by Rowan and Ezra Hale, a devoted couple who see not a soldier, but a boy in need of love. As Jamie begins to heal in their home of soft blankets, music, and warmth, he faces a new challenge: learning how to be safe when all he's ever known is survival.
