In a world where differences are feared, and conformity is the law, Ruth's life has always been defined by silence and submission. The children of librarians, Ruth and her friends are raised in the shadows of forgotten knowledge, their parents tasked with protecting information the government would rather erase.

But when their Division wakes up one day with strange abilities, at first, it seems like a gift. That is until those powers threaten to tear everything apart. Now, Ruth and her friends must navigate a new reality.

And with their world on the brink of chaos, they don't just need to survive-they need answers.
