Breksta Vilkas has lived an idyllic, peaceful childhood in a remote town surrounded by nature, elderly neighbors, and a caring mother.

Natasha Quay is an 18-year-old writer and incoming freshman at Princeton University, where she will study comparative literature.
She divides her time between Taipei and Seattle with her family. A lifelong violinist, Natasha has performed with her school orchestra since early childhood. She is also an avid reader—among her favorite books are Little Women, The Plague, and If We Were Villains.

What would you do if it was your responsibility to save humanity?
Breksta Vilkas has lived an idyllic, peaceful childhood in a remote town surrounded by nature, elderly neighbors, and a caring mother. But when an impromptu mother-daughter picnic is disrupted by news of the arrival of soldiers, her mother’s calm demeanor turns to fear as she hastens their departure from the only home Breksta has ever known.
What is driving her mother to leave their beautiful home?
Why does her mother’s face reflect terror?
Suddenly ripped from her mother, Breksta is forced to enter the Academy and become a cadet. Governed by its cruel director, Breksta clings to a solitary beacon of hope: her roommate, Hestia. United by a yearning to be free, the two form an unbreakable bond and promise to build a future away from the Academy’s unyielding grip of death and persecution.
However, a deadly disaster triggers the realization that their future dreams hinge upon the past—and the secret history Breksta’s mother concealed. As Breksta embarks on the most dangerous mission of her life, neither girl understands that her identity is linked not only to their future but to the future of the entire world.
