In the year 2060, empires don't run on oil or gunpowder. They run on magi-crystals buried in the earth that burn brighter when fed with human blood.
Daniel Reyes, a combat medic in Dominion-ruled Chicago, has lived by one vow: hands for healing, not hurting. But when a convoy ambush leaves his best friend dying, Daniel discovers he can do the impossible-heal with magi, not blood. His gift should not exist...and the Earth itself seems to have chosen him.
Emily Tierney never asked to be special. At twenty-one, she's dragged from her Florida home after a blood test reveals the rarest type in the world: RHnull. To the Dominion, she's a living key to power. To Daniel, she becomes something else entirely-a defiant ally who can raise shimmering barriers with nothing but her mother's song.
Hunted by Captain Adrian Wolfe-charismatic, ruthless, and unblinking-the two fugitives join forces with Marc Holt, a wisecracking soldier who refuses to quit even when death nearly claims him. Guided by the enigmatic Dr. Margaret O'Connell, the woman who first unlocked magi's secrets, they uncover the Dominion's darkest truth: farms where human beings are drained to fuel empire.
What begins as survival becomes rebellion. What begins as a hum becomes harmony. Together, their voices awaken something buried deep: a resonance the Dominion cannot control.
But mercy is dangerous. And as the Earth remembers its wounds, Daniel must decide whether his hands are meant only to heal...or to fight.
