      Adelina Amouteru, a survivor of the devastating blood fever, bears the scars of her past—a silver mane, pale lashes, and a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her father views her as a malfetto, an abomination tarnishing their family's reputation. However, some survivors are rumored to possess extraordinary powers, becoming known as the Young Elites. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition Axis, is tasked with hunting them down, believing them to be a threat to the nation. Yet, Teren harbors a dark secret of his own. Enzo Valenciano, a member of the Dagger Society, seeks to protect fellow Young Elites from Teren’s grasp. When the Daggers encounter Adelina, they realize her powers are unlike anything they've seen. Torn between trusting Enzo and viewing Teren as the enemy, Adelina finds herself in a web of conflict. As their paths intertwine, each character faces personal battles, with Adelina driven by a fierce desire for vengeance. She is determined to reclaim her power and turn the tables on those who have wronged her, ready to unleash the darkness within. It is her time to take control and exact her revenge.

      Asha Grant è approdata su Kerenza per sfuggire al suo passato. Peccato che questo l'abbia appena raggiunta. La ragazza è sopravvissuta all'assalto della BeiTech e da quel momento collabora in incognito con i pochi, disperati, coraggiosi membri della resistenza mentre, nel frattempo, si domanda cosa fare del segreto che tiene nascosto. L'ultima cosa che immaginava era di doversi preoccupare del suo ex, Rhys Lindstrom, appena sbarcato sul pianeta e più bello che mai nella sua uniforme BeiTech nuova fiammante. Chi può dirle con certezza se il ragazzo sarà per lei una via d'uscita o la garanzia che non se ne andrà mai viva da quel sasso congelato? Asha non è l'unica nei guai: la banda di sopravvissuti guidati da sua cugina Kady sta tornando su Kerenza, ma non ha abbastanza ossigeno per il viaggio. Oltretutto dietro l'angolo potrebbe anche esserci il rischio di un ammutinamento, ma non saranno certo queste inezie a fermare il Gruppo Illuminae. Purtroppo il tempo non è dalla loro parte. La BeiTech ha pianificato lo sterminio di tutti i civili su Kerenza ed è a un passo dal realizzarlo: soltanto un miracolo può salvarli. E i miracoli, lo sanno tutti, sono soltanto probabilità statistiche... o no?
