Featured in Seventeen, The Verge, Hypable, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, The Nerd Daily, Booklist, and SyFy Wire. In the former United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up in a hospital bed, the sole survivor of the viral magic that killed his family and made him a technopath. His ability to control technology attracts the attention of the minister of defense and thrusts him into the magical elite of the nation of Carolinia. The son of undocumented immigrants, Noam has spent his life fighting for the rights of refugees fleeing magical outbreaks--refugees Carolinia routinely deports with vicious efficiency. Sensing a way to make change, Noam accepts the minister's offer to teach him the science behind his magic, secretly planning to use it against the government. But then he meets the minister's son--cruel, dangerous, and achingly beautiful--and the way forward becomes less clear. Caught between his purpose and his heart, Noam must decide who he can trust and how far he's willing to go in pursuit of the greater good.

"A good dystopia book feeling with illness and powers. Keeps you hooked. I can't wait to read the 2nd one at some point. Warning, it definitely has some more mature content."

"Found this book through Webtoon. And omg I am so glad I took the time to read it! It’s dystopian type with teenagers against the government. It’s LGBTQ+ enemies to lovers. And has some really cool plot twists! Age rating 14+ "

"I read this when I was 12, and it kind of traumatized me. All that aside this booked gripped me from the first pages and it is one of my favorite books to this day. It also added a character to my kill list for the first time in a while."

"Amazing book. I found it through its Webtoon adaptation & was not disappointed by either version. The writing is pretty causal-- nothing fancy-- but the story is sooooo good. Very well written LGBTQIA+ diversity, too. However, i will say this book (mostly its sequel) does handle some dark, dark themes. I read it at 14 but its likely more fit for a slightly older audience."

"It's sooooo good! The main character is a really compelling character. if you don't mind that's the book is a bit graphic. And the ending hits you like a train. It also has a sequal book. Hope you enjoy.#dystopian #romance #twists "

"I read this book and the sequel around 6 months ago, and I loved it. I still haven’t found a book to top it. I found it through the webtoon adaption, and it did not disappoint. The writing and characters are good, and I love the story. #dystopian #enemiestolovers "

"I read this entire two book series in a week. I seriously suggest taking the time to read this. It’s a dystopian type of book and it does hit a few of the cliches such as enemies to lovers. It’s LGBTQ+ friendly as every character is queer or trans. #romance #fantasy #lgbt #lgbtq #drama "
