Born for chains. Raised for war. Destined for more than survival.
Romulus Kral serves the very people that would slaughter him if they knew the truth—
he’s a lurper, a descendant of the Test Criminals.
He sees what others miss, hears what others can’t, and is living proof of a crime the Enclave has sworn to erase.
For years, he has proven his loyalty, convinced he could change the system from within. But when duty brings him to Vazenia, the prison built for female lurpers, Roman seizes a chance to use his position to help those trapped inside.
Reckless and desperate, he begins plotting a riot with the prisoners he was meant to chain and control. But in a world where mercy is punished and rebellion is fatal, will he break their chains… or end up in them himself?
If you like Scythe, An Ember in the Ashes, or The Giver, this saga will rip your heart out and leave scars you won't want to heal.
