He'll shoot the Healer first. A-13 is his official designation. Part of a highly skilled unit of assassins, he's their best. Handsome, arrogant—there's not a law in all of Pronea he wouldn't break. Born of the highest Caste in the most powerful country to arise after the Great War, he has one job: to kill the Carriers.

​

The Gifted Ones as they call themselves. Those who hold special powers—Mage, Healer, or Seeker. One Silver Bullet through the heart burns them to Ash. The A-Class find the Carriers through the Recruitment—a vicious, two-year military service that every new adult must enter upon completion of Secondary Grades. 

​

Aelle is a powerful Healer. She knows that one day A-13's rifle will be trained on her, if not today. Will it hurt when the silver bullet rips through my heart and burns me alive? Will my friends be okay after I'm gone?

​

Joleigha, a Mage who is both capable and beautiful. Disrarding her friend's warnings, she has fallen desperately in love with A-13. Zeta is fierce and determined. A-13 on her personal 'Kill List.' Once she has mastered the required skills, which is only a matter of time, she vows to end his life.

​

As the three women watch more recruits around them burn to Ash, they form an unbreakable bond with one goal: to survive. But, no Carrier gets out of the Recruitment alive.
