Levity Wilhoph thought she’d endured the worst of Sandric’s cruelty. But Mass proved even more dangerous. While desperately trying to reunite with her siblings, she’s forced to rely on enemies she once swore to resist. Trust comes at a devastating cost—her memories, rewritten in the government’s effort to break her. Torn between who she was and who she’s becoming, Levity must decide whether to surrender to the life they script for her, or fight to reclaim her family—and herself.

 

Betta Rahmani, once Sandric’s beloved mouthpiece, now stands on the other side of power. Fierce and defiant, she carries both the weight of rebellion and the fracture of a heart pulled between enemies and allies alike. To lead, she must confront the cost of loyalty—and the betrayals that cut deepest. But rebellion demands sacrifices Betta never imagined: crumbling loyalties, impossible bargains, and the gnawing fear that love and leadership may

never coexist.

As Sandric tightens its grip and enemy forces close in, both women are thrust into a reckoning that will decide not only their fates, but the future of every soul forced to live beneath the surface.
