The world ended in silence, not fire.
For twenty-one years, Selene Varrow has lived under the iron rule of the Enclave - a regime that stripped the world of color, memory, and choice. Nights are locked down, days are ruled by duty, and anyone who doesn't fit their design is cast into the shadows as a Hollow: nameless, soulless, forgotten.
When soldiers tear Selene from her family at dawn, she expects to vanish like the others. Instead, she is conscripted under Adrian, a commanding officer whose word carries law like stone - a man as cold and unreachable as the Dominion itself. But behind his silence lies something dangerous, something familiar: a power long thought extinct.
As Selene begins to uncover what the Enclave tried to erase - an inheritance burning in her blood, a fire her parents once whispered about - Adrian becomes both her captor and her mirror. He is the one who should break her. Instead, he may be the one to set her alight.
In a world built on suppression, passion is rebellion. And Selene must decide:
Will she be broken into obedience, or rise from the ashes as something the Enclave cannot contain?
