Synopsis: Imara’s life is finally going the way she’s always dreamed. Until her sister is taken hostage by crazed fanatics, forcing her into a fight she wants no part of.
A hundred years in the future, Imara’s evolved senses as a truth seer give her an advantage over the obstacles ahead. But her gift is also a curse: years of baggage weigh heavily on her shoulders.
Imara descends into the catacombs, leading a rescue mission for her sister and the other hostages. Secrets are uncovered at every turn that threaten to tear the group apart and soon it’s not just the lives of the hostages that are at stake.
When Imara finally understands what the fanatic kidnappers are planning, she’s forced to make a choice that will change her life forever.


I really loved this book! I felt that it was a fun fantasy sci-fi book that kept my interest throughout the novel! The characters were intriguing, the plot was well developed and interesting, and the pacing was on point! The world building was also amazing and I really feel like I was immersed in this world!

However, I do feel that there were some issues with the book. I felt that the characters didn’t really develop that much and the reader was told stuff about them rather than shown. I also felt that the Imara had it unusually easy throughout the book. She doubted she would be able to see past illusions, but seemed to have no issue at all. I feel that if the character had some issue or struggled it would have been more relatable to the reader.

Verdict: I can’t lie, I love this book.
