Book Description
The walls were built to protect them. The Warden was trained to enforce them. But when Kira Vance is dragged into Citadel Nine as a 'resource acquisition,' she discovers the truth: the walls aren't keeping danger out—they're keeping the citizens in. Commander Ezra Voss has spent seven years enforcing the Citadel's brutal order. He's the regime's perfect weapon—until he's assigned to break the woman who refuses to kneel. Kira isn't just defiant. She carries evidence that could shatter everything he's built his life upon. He should execute her. Instead, he hides her. When the regime discovers their conspiracy, Ezra must choose: the walls that made him, or the woman who unmade everything he believed. In a world where loyalty is survival, loving the enemy is the ultimate treason.
