Khalani Kanes has never set foot on the earth’s surface. Living in Apollo, an underground city where hope is scarce, she dreams of escaping to Genesis, the last city aboveground. But when she’s falsely accused of theft and sentenced to Braderhelm Prison, those dreams are shattered.
Braderhelm is a brutal world where murderers lurk around every corner and the guards are just as dangerous. Surviving means navigating a deadly maze of enemies and avoiding the cold, ruthless Captain, Takeshi Steele. But as Khalani soon discovers, escaping Braderhelm is impossible—no one’s ever done it.
The deeper she falls into the prison’s dark secrets, the more she realizes her blood might be the cost of survival. Will Khalani escape before Braderhelm breaks her, or will she be the prison’s next victim?
