Anna Marie doesn't know her age, who her parents are, or what day of the week it is. But none of that matters. Good citizens don't ask questions, and Anna Marie is nothing if not a good citizen.

And why shouldn't she be? Prohedria is the greatest nation to ever exist?at least, according to the only news channel and the few government-approved books she's allowed to consume. It's a country defended by superpowered heroes who fight the villains for the safety and entertainment of the people. Anna Marie watches their adventures day after day as she clings to the hope that one of these heroes will save her from her life as a forced healer who feels every pain she mends.

But when her wish finally comes true, and she's pulled into the glistening world of heroes, she discovers Prohedria isn't the utopia she once thought it was. Faced with the truth, Anna Marie must decide whether to continue living out her blind fantasy or confront the brutal truth of the nation she once swore her loyalty to.
