In a future of surveillance and control a student's quiet life unravels when she saves a wounded soldier in the woods and protects herself with a single lie. That moment sparks an obsession she doesn't see coming as the cold, calculating commander slowly becomes fixated on the girl. As his watch tightens around her, she builds a fragile shield of half-truths to protect her family and hide her ties to the resistance. But each lie cuts deeper and she must soon decide how far she can bend the truth before they become the bars of her own cage. ~ She cut hard into a narrow passage, shoulder grazing chipped brick, the scrape leaving a chalky smear on her sleeve. The air was stale here, smelling of damp mortar and the sour tang of rain trapped in stone. A thin blade of streetlight knifed through the end of the lane, pale gold against the black, and she fixed on it. Her pulse drove hard enough to thrum in her teeth, rattling through her skull with each step. Then the sound split the night. A Highmarch car came in sideways, metal shrieking as its tir tore across the cobbles. It slid into place, cutting the passage at the throat like a final punctuation mark.

Two decades ago, Juliette Ferrars and Aaron Warner tore down a dying world and built a new one from the ashes. But legacies are heavy, and the peace they bled for is beginning to crack. Aurora Emmaline Warner is her father's daughter. She is the spitting image of Aaron's lethal elegance and cold precision. But beneath the sharp suits and the calculated stares lies her mother's heart-a kindness so deep it feels like a liability. Aurora spends her life wearing a mask of steel infront of everyone except her family and her friends. Kaz Kishimoto is the chaotic soul of the new generation. The oldest son of Kenji and Nazeera, he is a whirlwind of sarcasm who would rather fight someone over the last piece of food than follow a direct order. But while the world sees a reckless joker, Kaz sees the things everyone else misses. He is the only one who isn't fooled by Aurora's icy composure. He sees the girl behind the Warner name-the one who cares too much and feels too deeply. While their parents fought to end a war,they are fighting to stop a quiet one. A shadow is moving through the New Republic-an enemy that doesn't use guns or armies, but secrets and stolen legacies. The children of the revolution are being hunted by the world they thought is finally safe

The dead hand of history still grips the throat of the present. Three centuries after a meteor shower struck Earth, humanity is divided between the powered and the originals. One group changed. One did not. In the years that followed, a virus killed billions, twisted the natural world into something monstrous, and gave fear a shape to blame. The powered have carried that blame ever since. Collared, controlled, and sent beyond the city walls, they are forced to fight the mutations that roam the wilds. Ezra, a doctor, refuses to accept the world's clean divisions. He treats anyone who needs him, believing every life has value, even in a city built on deciding otherwise. When one act of mercy toward a stranger pulls him into a hidden war, Ezra begins to uncover the truth buried beneath generations of fear. Tension between originals and powered reach a breaking point, and Ezra faces a choice that could alter the course of humanity. One where the line between saving and destroying becomes increasingly blurred.

Life has been a never ending series of disappointments for Arkady: a failed marriage, an earth-shattering apocalyptic event, the creation of bipedal animals who don't take kindly to humans, and the failures of the people in power to do anything about any of it. So, overall, not much different from the other people in the Latvian Exclusion Zone. He earned the respect of his fellow stalkers and the disrespect of the people who label those in his position as criminals. He spent a third of his life after finding his place in the Zone trying to search for his ex-wife. Though those attempts proved fruitless. ' Until one day, a bounty hunting job leads him to discover something he was never meant to see. Documents proving that she, his ex-wife, the woman he still loves now, might still be alive. His obsession is reignited, and finally his life has a purpose beyond taking jobs to stay alive. But his discovery is not only his own. The people in power, the ones that had failed him so many times before, have decided that his discovery is theirs. Will his unofficial VDV training from Alexei, his lessons from the Zone, and experience in civilian division of the Latvian military be able to keep him alive long enough to discover where she's gone after all these years?

"She escaped. They made her a symbol. She hated it." 2301. 12 regions. The capital erased history, culture, faith, and identity. A girl made to be a symbol, but cries every night. A soldier who tortures to feel human. A woman who'd burn the world for her family. And a man who just wants to die and leave. A resistance that grows stronger with every drop of blood. A ghost organization pulling the strings in the shadows. They track every thought. A government that's cracking apart but refuses to see it. And a plot that could cause war. The "next phase," they call it. Some wars are invisible. They think they know who the enemy is. They're wrong. And some "saviors" are just men behind the scenes wearing fancy suits and ties, calling themselves the "Heroes of Humanity."
