Golden Resistance: Book One of the Signalborn Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994114308)

Survival doesn't always mean redemption...

Perfect for fans of Red Rising, Mistborn, and Crescent City, Golden Resistance is a high-stakes dystopian sci-fi thriller with genetic engineering and a morally grey heroine raised by the regime her family betrayed.

Arelia was a democracy-until it wasn't.

146 years ago, a contamination in the water supply altered humanity in Arelia forever. Those who survived the genetic shift became something else entirely-Behtari, marked by golden-flecked eyes and inhuman abilities. Now, they rule the New Republic.

Luna, born into this superior race, works for the government with brutal efficiency. Her duty to the New Republic is simple: be obedient. And she's good at it. But when a night spent celebrating her birthday turns into a tragedy, her entire world is flipped on its head. Luna finds herself face-to-face with the resistance her family bled for-and a human woman who challenges everything she thought she knew.

As Luna's reality fractures, she begins to question everything-from the gamma-wave genetic shift that created the Behtari to the regime built in the aftermath. What would it mean to be free? And what is she willing to risk for a chance at something more?

In a world engineered for obedience, even thinking differently is dangerous. But the real threat may be the human who makes Luna want to.

Will she uphold the regime that forged her or help bury it forever?
