A rising hope. A Brutal Wasteland. And Tael is running out of time.
The camp is gone. And the Raxions will stop at nothing to crush what's left of the resistance before it rises again.
On the run and out of options, Tael leads the last of the resistance across the wasteland in search of a myth: Spirit Cove. A hidden sanctuary where they can vanish, recover, and regroup … and where Tael can begin to understand the mysterious artifact embedded in his arm.
In the vast brutal desert, hunger, heat, and hopelessness sets in. Fear takes root, tensions flare, loyalties crack and the weight of every decision threatens to tear the rebellion apart. With danger closing in and hope fading fast, Tael is forced to step into a role he never wanted: leader of a rebellion he doesn't believe can win.
An unforgettable YA sci-fi about courage, sacrifice, and the will to rise when all seems lost—perfect for fans of Skyward, I Am Number 4 and The 5th Wave.
