"I'm not a fighter, and I'm certainly not a revolutionary. I'm just a healer."

Adriana once fought for her life in the Colosseum. When she finally laid down her sword, she swore never to pick it up again. Now a healer, she keeps her head down, tending to the wounded and trying not to draw attention to herself. But when she's pulled into a brewing rebellion she never meant to join, Adriana is forced to confront a past she thought she'd left behind─and a future that demands more of her than she is willing to give.

But, then she meets Acacius─a Praetorian guard, whose belief in a freer Rome is unshakable. And to Adriana's frustration, so is his belief in her. She's spent years avoiding the fight, haunted by what it cost her the first time. But, Acacius sees the fire she's tried to smother, and Adriana starts to wonder if survival is still enough... or if it's time to fight for something more.

"I never asked for this rebellion, but I don't see any other way. If we don't fight, what's left for us?"

His expression shifted, a storm of emotions flickering across his face. "Cassia... how long have you been planning this?" "Years," she admitted, her voice breaking. "Ever since Lydia passed, it's been harder and harder to stay. I love this village, I love everyone here-you most of all-but it feels like... like I'm suffocating." He stepped closer, his jaw tight. "So, that's it? You're just leaving? For how long?" She looked down, her fingers twisting the hem of her tunic. "I don't know. Maybe I'll come back, but not for a long time. I can't promise anything." Lucius's silence was louder than any words. She could see the hurt in his eyes, the way he clenched his fists as if trying to hold himself together. Finally, he spoke, his voice quieter than she'd ever heard it. "You don't want to leave, Cassia. Not really. You want to escape. There's a difference." "I know that," she snapped, her voice sharper than she intended. "But it doesn't change the fact that I need to go. I need to figure out who I am outside of this place." Lucius turned away, running a hand through his hair. "And what about us? What about everyone here who depends on you?" "I'm not abandoning anyone," she said, stepping closer. "Finn is stronger than he looks. Brutus and the others-this village is their home now, too. They'll protect it. And you... you don't need me, Lucius. You're strong enough without me." He turned back to her, his eyes blazing. "That's not the point, Cassia. It's not about needing you. It's about..." He trailed off, his voice catching.

[Follows Season 1 - ?] [UPDATES EVERY TUESDAY] "If everything had gone right... if the world was still how it used to be, we never would've met." When Jenna deserted from FEDRA and joined the Fireflies, she always figured she would get shot on patrol or get hanged for treason. She'd accepted that she was no more than a pawn in the pursuit of liberation in the Boston QZ. But when her entire patrol is killed, Jenna's purpose is finally clear: help deliver this random girl across the United States and save the world. Why? Because this "random" girl is immune. On her journey, Jenna discovers that she has the capacity to love, despite the apocalypse she calls home. It is isn't easy, and-Joel-the man who is accompanying them is a closed book... a mystery. Jenna never thought she would meet anyone who saw her as more than expendable, and she definitely didn't think Joel would be that person. "Well then...
