"An explosion and it fell apart. But the destruction made way for new beginnings" No one could’ve imagined that, after decades under the control of the White Guard, it would take a catastrophe to liberate Partida, a small town in the middle of nowhere. Ever since, Debri and Memphis have led their respective factions on opposite sides of the barren Wasteland, coexisting in a fragile balance of power. When the White Guard threatens to return, the young leaders have no choice but to work together to protect their territory and people. However, that means not only putting their differences aside but also coming to terms with the strange powers the explosion gave them three years ago. Sharing a secret and a past permeated by young love, deep-rooted trauma, oppression, and family expectations, Debri and Memphis race against the clock. And the powers that seem to be the only way to keep their hard-fought freedom may also be the omen of its end.
