They took his name. They took his mother. They put his brother on the wrong train.
Elias was fourteen when the Hand split his family in two.
One brother was sent into the camps. The other was taken somewhere else.
Years later, Elias has learned the shape of the system that stole them both. The Pit does not exist to move stone. It exists to sort bodies. The Trials do not exist to reward strength. They exist to turn boys into weapons. And the Hand does not simply rule through fear. It rebuilds children until they forget what they were before.
But Elias has never forgotten Cassian.
He remembers the boy on the other side of the iron wall. The small soft humming in the dark. The promise neither of them knew they were making.
Still here.
To reach his brother, Elias must climb through the very machine designed to break him. Through blood, hunger, cold, and every door the regime keeps closed to numbers like him.
But the boy waiting at the top is not the brother Elias lost.
Cassian has been conditioned. Trained. Raised inside the house of the man who built the system.
And when Elias finally reaches him, he must face the question that has haunted every step of the climb:
What if the person you survive for is no longer the person you remember?
The Last Hand: Still Here is the first book in a dark adult dystopian saga about brotherhood, survival, memory, and the cost of remaining human in a world built to take you apart.
