Never turn your back on the griff. In the year 2140, Earth teeters on the edge of collapse. Walled compounds shelter the fortunate, while the war-torn wastelands beyond are ruled by factions like the ruthless Friends of Green (FOG). Zack Bates grows up behind these walls, sheltered from the horrors outside—until the night his world is ripped apart. His parents are murdered, his home destroyed, and the very organization sworn to protect him, the ADS, turns against him. With only the cryptic words of a war-hardened colonel and a mysterious implant his father injected into his arm, Zack flees into the unknown.
Hunted and alone, Zack finds refuge in an orphanage where survival means blending in. But as he unravels the dark secrets behind Earth’s failing ecosystem, the brutal war for control, and the planet Xima—a distant colony where humanity’s future is being rewritten—he realizes his father’s final act may hold the key to everything.
Now, Zack must make an impossible choice: remain hidden in the shadows or rise against the forces that stole everything from him. Because beyond the walls, beyond the ruins of civilization, something else is waiting.
