Cal is just a miner. Quiet. Observant. Unnoticed. Until a small discrepancy catches his eye—something that doesn’t add up. He asks a question. Then another. And suddenly, people are watching. The kind of people who don’t explain themselves. The kind of people who erase problems. Outside the walls, war rages against the infected. Inside, Cal’s discovery pulls him into a conflict buried deeper than the mines he works in. A quiet rebellion brews beneath the surface—one that could change everything, or get him killed before he even understands what he’s found. Some wars are fought in the open.
