Summary: In a world where prodigies maintain order, Nova seeks revenge against the Renegades, the heroes who symbolize hope. Her mission is clear until she meets Adrian, a Renegade who believes in justice—and in her. As Nova's loyalties are tested, she must decide between vengeance and the possibility of a new path. Will her allegiance to the villains lead to the downfall of both her and Adrian, or can she find a way to reconcile her past with a future she never imagined? The stakes are high, and the lines between hero and villain blur.
