Kicked, starved, and living in a trash-filled underworld, Alexander is just another forgotten scavenger, preyed upon by bullies and a system designed to keep him down. He dreams of a world beyond the metal ceiling, a world his waking life insists is impossible. But a cryptic dream, filled with ancient memories and a desperate plea to save a forgotten woman, shatters his reality. When a forgotten surname and a desperate act unlock a hidden interface, Alexander discovers his entire existence is a lie. He's not just a scavenger; he's a Lockhart, a name tied to the very Authority that controls his prison-city. Now, with provisional access to a power he never knew he possessed, he must navigate a treacherous training program where loyalty and obedience are paramount. Can a boy who knows only hunger and betrayal rise through the ranks of his oppressors, or will the truth of his lineage be the key to his destruction?
