"In the depths of torment, I discovered fragments of truth hidden in the shadows of my pain."

By 2237, the World Intelligence Bureau controls every breath the planet takes. Regs-ordinary humans-sit at the top, while Okhians, changed by a centuries-old virus, are forced to battle the mutants threatening what's left of humanity.

Amie grows up far beneath that world, surviving a violent home where silence is the only protection. Everything changes the day her powers erupt. The Bureau seizes her, brands her an Okhian, and tears her from the life she knew. She's thrown into a hostile school where cruelty waits at the gates-shoves, taunts, and the constant reminder that she doesn't belong to them, not in power or history.

And that's where she meets Zeth.
The boy whose eyes stop her breath.
The boy she never imagined would look at her the way he does.

As Amie claws her way through each day, she begins to glimpse the truth threading through her veins-a power that twists in ways no category can name, something the world was never built to understand. The more she uncovers, the clearer it becomes that she will never belong to the Regs who fear her or the Okhians who despise her. She is caught between worlds that want to use her, cage her, or erase her entirely. And as the truth inside her unfurls like a shadowed flame, she finally sees what her existence really means:

She can save what's left of humanity...
or watch it scream as every world burns.
