Elias has spent his whole damn life in the Dead Zone—a wasteland crawling with nightmares and the lost souls who weren’t lucky enough to be born anywhere else. He wasn’t lucky either. Unlike most, his body refuses to use Arcite, the energy that makes the weak strong and the strong even stronger. So he survives the only way he can: instinct, deception, luck, and sheer stubbornness. But survival? That’s not enough. He wants out. He wants Sanctuary, the supposed paradise beyond this hellhole. Yet fate—vindictive, merciless, and downright sadistic—seems dead set on keeping him trapped, throwing every horror it can in his way. But screw fate. If it won’t let him go, he’ll tear it apart trying.
