Book 2 of the Divicen Series
Squad 15 survived the last battle-but they did not escape it.
Lyari's death lingers like a wound that refuses to close, fracturing the squad. Once praised, they are now whispered about: reckless, unstable, dangerous. Grief has made them unpredictable, and unpredictability has made them expendable. Gwen feels the weight of that judgment in every order she follows and every life she's expected to risk without question. Arden's hidden truth and the squad's unresolved grief collide as trust begins to fray.
As war ignites-Divicen and Emoria, a fragile alliance, against the rising threat of Vaelora-Squad 15 is thrust back onto the front lines, not as heroes, but as weapons meant to be used and discarded. The King tightens his grip, eager to control or erase anything he cannot tame, and Gwen is left fighting two battles at once: one against the enemy beyond the borders, and one against the system that is quietly turning on her.
Rune stands beside her, but loving him in a world built on fear has consequences. Gwen does not question her love for him; she questions how much pain it will cost them all to keep it.
As Vaelora advances and the cost of war grows steeper, Gwen must decide whether she will continue to fight as she's been commanded-or finally choose to fight for her squad, her love, and the life they are being told they do not deserve.
Because some losses change how the world sees you.
And some make it impossible to remain who you were.
