The Saeren Chronicles: Book Two: The Resistance

By Post Peleos

The war that burned Hazel to the ground has finally found her.

In the smoking aftermath of the school's fall, Viridia escapes to a hidden resistance camp - and to the one secret she has never dared say aloud. She was born whole: both halves of a magic her world tore cleanly in two six hundred years ago. And she has come to understand something no one else alive knows. She could mend the severing. Not for herself. For everyone. All at once - whether they consent to it or not.

But the girl who once survived by being invisible is done being saved by other people. Alice - the only person who ever saw the drowning beneath her quiet - is alive, captured, and held in the heart of the capital that would kill Viridia for existing. A war she cannot stop marches closer by the day. And the grieving young leader at her side is walking, clear-eyed, toward his own end.

Viridia will try every bloodless road first. She will spend every day she has looking for an answer that doesn't ask her to remake the world without its permission. But the window is closing - and when the two armies finally meet, the cost of doing the impossible will be counted in the people she loves.

The Resistance is the second book of The Saeren Chronicles: a quiet, devastating fantasy about grief, found family, consent, and the unbearable weight of being the only one who can.
