by Jonathan Pinkney
The Dominion did not come to destroy Isaiah and Jahseh’s home. It came for them. Fifteen-year-old twins Isaiah and Jahseh were raised far from kingdoms, armies, and the war tearing Nirvana apart. They knew little of ancient races, forbidden bloodlines, or the monsters moving through the dark wearing stolen faces. Then their home burns in a single night. One brother is left behind. One is taken. As Isaiah is dragged into the Allied war effort, he fights to survive, master the power awakening inside him, and find the brother he refuses to abandon. But Jahseh is being shaped into something else across enemy lines — a weapon, a prince, and a name the world may learn to fear. The Grasiers do not simply kill. They steal bodies, wear the dead, and turn trust into a weapon. Behind them stands the Dominion, an empire built on conquest, secrets, and truths buried deep beneath the blood of the twins. Some are born into destiny. Others are dragged toward it. And when Isaiah and Jahseh meet again, the war may no longer be about saving the world. It may be about surviving what they become.
