Founder's Mercy (Neskan Chronicles 1)

"Tightly-plotted with nuanced characters that are easy to root for."
–Ryan Douglass, New York Times bestselling author of The Taking of Jake Livingston
The Bolvar Union provides everything a good citizen needs, only asking one thing in return: total devotion to the State. Teenage best friends Adan Testa and Bo Shen have other ideas. They plan an unlikely heist to earn their way over the wall, escaping Bolvar before serving their mandatory five years in the Bolvar Union Defense Force. But Adan doesn’t know he possesses a secret talent that no one has seen in the five centuries since the First Explorers colonized Neska. And when the Union discovers Adan's hidden gift, they'll do anything and everything they can to discover his secret. Even if it kills him.
