What if your greatest enemy wasn't just training you—but recreating you? Dante Ransom learned early that trust gets you killed in Old Chicago's ruins. As leader of the Ravens gang, he survived by his wits and a gift he couldn't explain. But when his closest friends sell him to Earth's alien conquerors, survival takes on a deadly new meaning. Now he's trapped in an elite academy where humans with psychic abilities are shaped into weapons. His handler seems to take special pleasure in trying to break him. The Fel'ran aliens claim they're uplifting humanity. Tell that to the "Waste" populations they drain for blood. Yet when a classified mission to Saturn's moons reveals a secret that could shatter the Fel'rans hold on Earth, Dante must decide whom to trust: The ruthless captain molding him into a weapon... The seductive recruit with secrets of her own... Or the whispers of rebellion burning in his blood.
