Only twenty years have passed since the world was brought to its knees. Out of the ruin rose Sanctus Terra, the last refuge of humanity, where the Divinite Council rules as god. Survival is worship. Obedience is law. Their creed is simple: Purity Through Order.

Vera, born in the slums of the Isles, hides a forbidden gift: knowledge of healing that could save lives but, if discovered, will end hers. Alistair, son of a ruthless general, carries the weight of expectation and a secret he cannot voice. Both are bound by the Program of Divine Increase, a brutal mandate that strips choice and chains futures.

When rebellion stirs in the outer districts and whispers of an outsider breach the island’s walls, Vera and Alistair are thrust onto a collision course that will unravel everything they have been taught to believe. In a world where faith has been weaponized, they must decide whether to uphold the will of the Divine—or risk their lives defying it.
