"You can deny me all you want to, but your body betrays you. I see that ache, the intensity of it laced through your limbs. I can fulfill all those needs, those dreams, those desires," he murmured into my ear, every word slicing into my skin with unwarranted heat.
"But-," he clucked his tongue, pulling away from my face just enough to meet my eyes once more. "I must say I do love the chase. And you are the most delectable prize. Complain all you want, but at the end of the day, we both know the truth."
"I have already won."
Nora Malka, a girl raised in The Facility for her powers, seeks an escape from the prison built by those who are frightened of what they cannot control. In her pursuit of freedom with her close friend, Casandro, she comes to find out all is not as it seems.
The people she trusts the most deceive her, and in a battle to claim her self-identity, it is taken away and manipulated till she no longer recognizes the person she has become.
All the while, a man, selfish in many ways, seeks to claim what is his: Nora. The gods willed it so in the prophecy etched in stone.
Nora does not know independence is farther from her grasp than she believes.
Will she sink beneath the weight of despair and betrayal, or will she surface the dark waters and find the liberation she has sought after for so many years?
