Seventy-seven floors beneath the dome city of Aura, Heron Ziv has spent two years mining diamonds he'll never own, in a world his kind aren't allowed to leave.
Then the Hegemony comes looking for him.
Torn from the only life he's known and thrown into the Nemo Corps - humanity's last line of defense against the monstrous Hydras spawned by a cataclysm no one fully understands - Heron discovers a power inside him unlike anything his new commanders have ever seen. He's given an armor that moves like a second skin, a companion bonded to his very soul, and a place among Sigma-19: an elite squad of soldiers with nothing in common except the secrets they're each carrying, and the war that won't let any of them go home.
But the deeper Heron is pulled into the Corps' glittering cities and classified archives, the clearer it becomes that the Hegemony he's sworn to protect is hiding something far worse than monsters - and that he himself might be the biggest secret of all.
As the squad he's come to call family starts to fracture under the weight of what they're learning, and an enemy older than the war itself begins closing in, Heron will have to decide how much of himself he's willing to lose to save the people he loves.
The mines never asked what he wanted. The Corps won't either. This time, Heron intends to choose.
