He was never meant to be a hero. Now he's humanity's last chance.

In a post-apocalyptic world scorched by flame and fear, fifteen-year-old Finn Camlock is nothing more than a burden. Powerless. Unwanted. Forgotten.

While others wield nova energy to protect their crumbling settlements, Finn scrapes by with menial tasks -- until a journey to the Iron Mountain awakens something unexpected. Something impossible.

Now hunted by enemies of shadow and fire, Finn must forge his own strength or be consumed by the chaos rising around him. His blade is quick, but the war ahead moves quicker. And if he fails, the last remnants of humanity might fall with him.

Perfect for fans of Red Rising and The Hunger Games, this explosive coming-of-age tale delivers high-octane danger, searing emotion, and the thrill of finding power when all hope seems lost.

????? "Kennedy's pacing is swift, balancing explosive action with introspective moments. The author skillfully interweaves themes of belonging, leadership, and sacrifice while laying the groundwork for a larger mystery. - Reader's favorite.

????? "This is the ultimate coming-of-age journey, where growing up isn't just emotional -- it's life or death. The pacing is lightning quick, the twists are epic, and the character growth is seriously powerful." - P.J. Hoover, Author
