A Song of Chaos

[Long list ONC 2022]

First, they invaded.
Then there was war.
Now they're coming to enslave the rest.
The last of humanity pushed back into a walled-off city where the population is divided on how to proceed forward: Surrender or Fight to the death. Kahli, daughter of the President, believes there's only one option: Die with pride. One day, her kind nature gets the best of her, and she spares an injured Altahan. That decision turns her world upside down.

Zuco, Commander of the Altahan Army, came, saw, and conquered. His opponents were weak and cowards; nothing of note. There was only one thing left to do: bring the remaining humans to heel and put them to work. That is until one night; he stumbles unto a skirmish. A group of his inexperienced soldiers was caught off guard; trying to save them led to a trap. Ready to end his life, a small cloaked figure freed him from the trap. The cloaked figure's tattooed hand seared itself into his memory.

Who would help their enemy in time of war? His eyes were cold and lifeless as he stared at her. "You don't know who I am, do you?"
