Meet Eden in this emotionally intimate sci-fi romance about duty, loss, and the devastating clarity of choosing others over yourself-and becoming something powerful in the process. A commander's daughter. A constant. A steady presence in a colony built on fear and fragile hope. She does not seek power. Power finds her anyway. As the Reaping looms and alliances threaten to fracture, Eden is faced with an impossible truth: peace will demand a body. And hers is the most valuable one left to give. So she chooses it. Not because she is obedient. Not because she believes in the system. But because she knows what happens when no one steps forward. In the Stag Belt, sacrifice is glorified, passion is policed, and survival is never free. Eden's choice will change everything-for her family, her people, and the worlds watching her walk willingly into a fate she understands far better than anyone else ever will.
