The truth isn't what saves you. It's what decides who survives.
Five years ago, the Merchant uprising against Jevo's regime was crushed. Two years later, inspired by the legacy of David Carver, a new generation tried to succeed where the Merchants failed. Students from D nachd and Cruthachail joined forces in what became known as the Spark.
It ended in a massacre.
The rebellion has failed twice.
Some survivors still believe there's a chance to fight back.
Others have given up completely.
Now, only the youngest children of the Merchants remain.
Braelynn Carver: Overconfident, fiery, and determined to live up to her father's legacy. The pressure to be perfect drives her forward, even when panic creeps in.
Nate Cartis: Resentful, sharp-minded, and fiercely loyal. He wants the rebellion to stay buried. But no amount of loyalty silences the panic that comes with being hated.
Both are searching for the truth.
But in a world ruled by fear, the hardest part is knowing which version of the truth to believe.
