In a world where survival demands sacrifice, 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐘 𝐏𝐈𝐊𝐄 has learned to harden herself against weakness. Raised under the ruthless hand of her father, a man who saw her not as a daughter but as a weapon, Cassidy was trained to obey, to fight, and to survive at any cost. But when a single act of defiance lands her among the delinquents hurtling to the ground, the first humans to return to Earth in nearly a century, she finds herself thrust into a world more dangerous and unpredictable than she ever imagined. Haunted by the past and the crime she was forced to commit, Cassidy struggles to break free from the chains of her father's control. But survival on the ground isn't just about fighting external threats-it's about facing the ones inside her, too. 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐘 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐊𝐄, the headstrong rebel king with a cause, forces her to confront parts of herself she thought she had buried. And when 𝐍𝐈𝐊𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐈 𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐄, the one person who truly knew her before it all fell apart, resurfaces, Cassidy is caught between the past she can't escape and the future she's terrified to claim. As loyalties are tested, enemies rise, and war looms on the horizon, Cassidy must decide who she is beyond the role others have forced upon her. Because on the ground, strength isn't just about survival-it's about who you choose to fight for. This is the story of a rogue, a survivor, and the battle to find humanity in a fractured world. (!!
