Book One: Alone = Broken

Silva, a 15-year-old orphan with terrifyingly powerful abilities, survives alone inside a brutal empire. Cocky, brilliant, and reckless, he believes he doesn't need anyone-until a single mistake changes everything.

After saving who he thinks are civilians, Silva is captured by an Imperial General. What follows is a nightmare of physical torture and psychological breaking. His powers fracture, his identity collapses, and he becomes a hollow version of the boy he once was.

Inside the prison, he meets Loni, a captive girl who refuses to give up on him. When her life is threatened, Silva snaps-unleashing a catastrophic power surge that destroys the facility.

After the explosion, Loni drags Silva from the rubble, the two flee into the unknown. Silva is alive... but utterly broken.
