In the peaceful village of Dreamville, twelve-year-old Kysh dreams not of being a celebrated hero, but of joining the Lumina Institute as an engineer-building tools and structures that keep people safe. But on her birthday, the very thing she never wanted appears: the Verdant Sigil, marking her as a Kryphyn-one of the rare gifted ones the realm reveres... and the Institute seizes by force. Taken from her family in the dead of night, dragged away to the towering, gleaming halls of Lumina, Kysh discovers that the noble order everyone praises hides a dark truth. Her father fled this place years ago; the guards who captured her were once children just like her; and the "special power" she bears is something they call dangerous. Among nine other stolen children in Batch 241, each marked with a unique Sigil, Kysh must learn to master her gift-not to fight for the Institute, but to find her way back home, uncover the secrets her parents kept, and decide for herself what it truly means to protect the ones you love.
