Oliver Hawthorne has lived in hiding for as long as he can remember. That’s because he’s a grudder, an illegal citizen in the capital city of Maldenney. If anyone ever discovers he exists, he’ll be killed. But when a girl with unusual abilities shows up in the city looking for her missing sister, Oliver has no choice but to step out of the shadows and try to help save her. For the first time in his entire life, he finds himself thrown into a world with people and creatures far more extraordinary than he ever knew existed - and an age old fight much greater than himself.
