Detonated Dreams

In a dystopian world where women are scarce and power is absolute, 13-year-old Talia Reyes dreams of escaping the oppressive grip of The Dominion-a ruthless regime that abducts women and girls like prized possessions. With a deadly virus rendering most females infertile or dead, The Dominion, heirs to the old government, claim dominance over the few who remain. Talia hopes to be spared-until a brutal raid takes someone she loves.

Determined to fight back, Talia poses as an 18-year-old to join the Free Blades, a rogue band of mercenaries. Under the harsh mentorship of Dmitri "Blastnik" Volkov, a scarred and mysterious war veteran, she hones her combat skills. But as their bond grows, so do the lines between mentor and something more-forcing Talia to grapple with her own vulnerability.

When The Dominion strikes again, Talia is thrust into a perilous rescue mission where courage, sacrifice, and self-discovery collide. In this high-stakes battle for freedom, she must confront her deepest fears-and decide if she has the strength to become a hero, or if the weight of loss will break her.

Can Talia rise from the ashes of her shattered world, or will The Dominion crush her spirit?
