Laeni "Lane” Atlan's future was stolen at the end of World War Three—by the very man who started it. President Damien Grey hunted her for one reason: Synthica, the nano-bioweapon only she can control. It was his only chance to heal his wife's catastrophic brain injury-and the only reason Lane was left alive when the rest of her powerful family was slaughtered. Ten years later, Lane wants one thing: revenge. Rejoining the rebellion she once abandoned—and forced back into the orbit of the boy she used to love—Lane is closer than ever to killing Grey. But surrounded by the people she once called family, she begins to question whether revenge will bring the peace she's been chasing... or destroy what remains of her. Adrien "Quinn Eloi" Grey has his own mission. If he succeeds where his father did not—if he can use Synthica to heal his mother—he might finally earn the love of his cold and distant father. But after a failed arrest entangles him with the rebellion, Quinn finds himself thrown into a war he never thought was possible, right alongside Lane... and she's nothing like the weapon he was raised to believe she is. Now, Quinn must decide how far he's willing to go to save his mother. And Lane must decide whether she's willing to become the very thing she hates. Because in the end, their choices won't just shape their futures-they'll decide who lives, who dies, and what kind of world is left behind.
