In a dystopian future, the once-prosperous nation of Alandria has fallen under the iron rule of Lucian Kane, a ruthless dictator who overthrew the peaceful government and renamed the country Valgard. Divided into six heavily controlled zones, Valgard’s citizens live under constant surveillance, brutal labor, and forced loyalty, while the memory of freedom fades to myth. Jordan Taylor, a young man determined to protect his family, is thrust into the heart of a growing resistance after his mother’s past as an activist puts them in the regime’s crosshairs. When he discovers his estranged brother, Liam, is now a high-ranking officer in the oppressive Enforcement, Jordan faces an impossible choice: risk everything to join the fight or submit to a life under his brother’s shadow. As Kane’s generals tighten their grip on each zone, Jordan navigates a world of betrayal, hidden allies, and unforgiving danger, where one wrong step could destroy everything. Amidst the fear, whispers of Alandria’s legacy stir the hearts of the oppressed, sparking a rebellion that threatens to bring Valgard’s dark empire to its knees. In the end, Jordan must decide: will he fight for a future he may never see, or remain shackled by a past he can never change?
