Resistance

Caught in the middle, there's no such thing as innocent.

Ardica City was supposed to be a safe haven. For Daria Novotny, who secretly wields an outlawed ability, it's anything but.

Daria and her family are refugees on a high-tech city-ship, struggling to cope with what, and who, they were forced to leave behind on the monster-infested mainland. Complicating matters is Daria's hidden identity—if the government finds out what Daria is, they'll lock her up. Worse, she's starting to fear it might be her own brother who'll eventually sell her out.

When Daria resorts to theft to feed her family, she winds up with blood on her hands and is forced to cut a deal with a charismatic crime boss. Soon, Daria is breaking the law on his behalf, at risk of getting caught every time she uses her ability. Worse, she finds herself wanting to trust the gang she's fallen in with, even though she knows the men and women of Graves are dangerous people.

Except that everything Daria believes keeps getting proved false, and the longer she runs jobs for Graves, the less certain she is that they're really the bad guys. When military crackdowns endanger lives, Daria has to decide once and for all where her loyalties lie—before she and others like her lose more than just their freedom.
