She was never supposed to ask questions.
Blue has spent her entire life trapped by a mysterious illness that stole her chance to become the Vanguard she was meant to be.
But when a forbidden mission goes wrong, everything changes.
Infected with a deadly venom that spreads through her body with every passing hour, Blue is thrust into a desperate race against time. Her search for a cure leads her far beyond the world she knows—into a hidden network of power, secrets, and deception that threatens everything she believes.
Her only lead is Max, her mission partner: brilliant, guarded, and hiding answers he refuses to share.
The deeper Blue digs, the more her carefully constructed reality begins to unravel.
Her mother claims every secret was meant to protect her.
Max claims he can save her.
Neither is telling the whole truth.
As the venom tightens its grip, Blue must uncover what was done to her before it's too late. Because the truth behind her illness may be far more dangerous than the venom killing her.
And in a world built on control and lies, survival depends on one thing:
Discovering what she was never meant to know.
