Anomalous

By: Beltre, William

A rebel blacksmith with a secret.

A resilient Fen who escaped his chains.

When a Klenzeer's pursuit forces them together, two outcasts discover they share more than just enemies-they share a desperate need to survive.

But the island of Ra is designed to prevent escape. The Cycle comes every forty-two days. The Klenzeer enforce laws with ruthless efficiency. And the Overseers control everything for devious ends.

A found family fights impossible odds in a world where conformity is a prison-and resistance is the only freedom.

AN0MAL0US explores themes of identity, sacrifice, gender, found family, and the price of resistance against systemic oppression, while building toward the revelation that even the most heroic acts of defiance may serve the oppressor's ultimate goals. The story sets up a larger narrative about the nature of free will, the manipulation of memory and trauma, and whether true escape is possible in a world where even one's deepest desires may be artificially implanted by those in power.
