They trained us to be killers before we even knew what it meant to fight. They told us we were warriors, soldiers, wielders of power beyond our own comprehension. They told us we were the future of Vilhan. But they never told us the truth.
Rynna Blayne has spent her life in the brutal training grounds of Hinabeth, learning how to survive, how to fight, and how to win. Weakness is punished. Emotions are useless. And getting attached to anyone? A death sentence.
But when she accidentally takes down twenty-four of her peers in a single push-without understanding how-suddenly, everyone is watching her. The General. The recruits. And worst of all, Darian, the cocky, insufferable boy with sharp brown eyes and a smirk that makes her want to punch him... or maybe something worse.
Now, she has a target on her back. The country she was raised to protect has been lying to her, and the only way to survive is to uncover the truth.
The problem? The truth might just destroy her first.
