The Last Lua by I. Everhope
For generations, the Lua people thrived-until the Quereals came. Betrayed and slaughtered, their history was rewritten, their land stolen, and their survivors exiled. Now, Naia, one of the last of her kind, has spent her life hiding in the labor camps of Kamiya, a brutal empire ruled by fear. But when she discovers a fragment of Lua's Heart, an artifact with the power to unearth the truth, she becomes a target.
Forced to flee into the heart of the empire, Naia must navigate a world where allies are scarce and enemies wear silver armor. Between Caius, a rogue with secrets of his own, and Kian, a ruthless Quereal soldier who seems to be watching her too closely, she walks a dangerous line between survival and rebellion.
With the fate of her people hanging in the balance, Naia must uncover the truth buried in lies-before the Quereals erase her, too.
