𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 (1. book in a series) by Novatus Life ✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦ Akira wakes up in a room. No memories, no light, no life. She must adapt to her "new" life and find out where she is and why she got abducted. When she finally gets to inspect the place she is in, she is met with a dark reality of the so-called Elegants and Innocentiaes, girls "saved" by the regime of the Units, only to be reshaped into ideals of obedience and grace, stripped of their pasts, their names, and eventually, their will. But Akira isn't who we all think she is. ✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦ Centuries after the war, humanity survives in wastelands, calling everything they find their home. Above them drift the 𝐈𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬-floating islands ruled by the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐬, inspired by the legend of Icarus. Beautiful, unreachable, and doomed to fall, drifting endlessly across the sky... until they fly too far. Only 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚 stands in resistance: a city open to all, even to those overshadowed by the 𝐈𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬. Its mission? To abolish the inequality the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐬 built. For that, they fight. ✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦
