Previously published as Origin of the Body by HR Moore. New adult fantasy romance set in another world that feels almost contemporary. Perfect for fans of Divergent who want something a little more grown-up, with a unique, energy-based magic system, and political undertones. Caught in a web spun before her birth, no choice but to embrace those who may turn out to be her enemies, Anita starts to discover not only who she really is, but that not everyone is what they seem. As the world slides further towards ruin, Austin, the ruling Mind Descendant, assumes control, refusing to take action. Bass searches for a way to fulfil the prophecy, and Anita and Alexander leave Empire to search for answers of their own. But a dangerous rebellion is gaining momentum in the Wild Lands. They must hurry to find the lost brass cylinder and a way to return the Relic, or at least appear that they have...but in their haste, an important detail is overlooked. Anita must put things right, before a fresh disaster rocks their world. Trigger warning for violence. Contains sexual content.
