She led the perfect teenage life in her safe haven of Province 3, but that all quickly changed when she learned that not everything was as it seemed. After being sent on a mission and finding out that The Nation hid dark secrets from its citizens, Lucia joined her parents as part of the Dissentient—an uprising against The Nation.

She discovers that The Dissentient has their own set of secrets and their own agenda. When her boyfriend, the steadfast Nicolas Pernelli, is assigned to go on a mission back in the Provinces, Lucia finds companionship with the charismatic Dissident Luke Simons. Together Lucia and Luke delve into the mysteries of The Dissentient where Lucia finds clues to her past. Will Lucia finally accept that she is the Light of The Prophecy before it’s too late?
