A fugitive who knows the system. A silent child. Olena survives by staying invisible, moving fast, and trusting no "help." She knows how the Authority works-because she helped build parts of it. Now she's responsible for Siri, a quiet girl whose body answers certain bell cadences before her mind can. The Lantern Caravan offers food, shelter, and a dangerous kind of hope-art that keeps people human-but traveling with them makes Olena easier to track. And as the road tightens toward the capital, the Authority herds everyone toward a large ceremony. If you love tense dystopian fiction, read now.
