Book Two: The Broken Bond – Shadows of Obedience
Three years after surviving the slaughterhouse, Auryn enters Camp Academy with no memory of who she was—or the dangerous truth hidden in her blood.
Zane watches from the shadows, sworn to protect her without revealing his past. Kieran trains like a soldier possessed, unaware the girl he mourns is just across the battlefield. And Ruben, Auryn’s closest companion, begins to unravel as whispers of betrayal, control, and secrets buried in a lab begin to surface.
At Camp Academy, nothing is as it seems. Every class drills survival into the bones. Every mission unearths ghosts. And every bond may be more than just emotional—it may be engineered.
As the line between devotion and manipulation blurs, civil war simmers between the chosen city of Sandmen and the sanctified image of Mother. When Auryn’s suppressed abilities begin to awaken and forbidden memories return, her loyalty—and heart—will face a reckoning.
Lies were meant to keep her safe. Now they may burn the world down.
