In the Dominion, mercy is treason. Every citizen is watched. Every action is weighed. The past is erased, and hope is treated as a disease. Mara has learned to survive by obeying the rules she can stomach and burying the rest.

Only that it makes her believe fear isn't the only thing left in the world. When whispers of resistance begin to surface, Mara is pulled into something far bigger than survival. With Silas-the one person who has kept her alive-she must decide whether to protect what little safety remains or risk everything for a truth powerful enough to break the Dominion. Because the Vox Towers are always watching. And every act of defiance has a price. Sometimes the most dangerous rebellion is mercy.
