Yosemina was supposed to die in the snow.
Executed for treason by the bio-engineered Caeruli, her death should have been final. Instead, she wakes with electric-blue blood in her veins—and the truth she was never meant to learn: she is Caeruli.
Indistinguishable from human, Yosemina is a rare anomaly. Reclaimed by her executioners, she is forced into an ultimatum: infiltrate the human rebellion or face permanent erasure. To survive, she must suppress what she is and maintain a flawless human disguise in a world that would kill her if it ever saw through it.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
- Female anti-hero protagonist
- High-concept, layered dystopian sci-fi with moral ambiguity and large-scale twists (inspired by series like Attack on Titan)
- Identity deception / infiltration narrative with constant risk of exposure
- Found-family dynamics
- Slow-burn LGBTQ+ romance
- Moral ambiguity. No side is fully “good,” and choices carry real consequences
- Psychological identity fracture as the protagonist begins to question what she is
- High-stakes progression where character deaths and betrayals are always possible
- A story focused on transformation, control, and self-definition under pressure
