The Scion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798338604847)

In the oppressed nation of Vahan, obedience isn't a choice-it's survival. When fifteen-year-old Malina forgets a simple symbol of loyalty, she's reminded the regime punishes even the smallest defiance. But everything shatters when a mysterious new student, Finbar, risks everything to protect her-and ignites questions she can't ignore.

As whispers of rebellion grow, Malina uncovers a truth that makes her a target-and a symbol. With a ruthless dictator closing in and loved ones' lives on the line, she's pulled into a dangerous resistance where trust is fragile, sacrifice is inevitable, and every decision could cost a life.

Torn between fear and courage, love and duty, Malina must decide: stay silent and survive, or risk everything to spark a revolution.

In a world built on control, one girl's choice could change everything.
