Wilder
A SHADOWS OF PEACE universe novel
Luca was shaped by the City. Trained to obey, conditioned to enforce, and taught that order was the only thing keeping humanity alive.
Then the Wilde forced him to see what the City never allowed him to know.
Recovering among the people he was raised to fear, Luca must learn how to exist in a world without ranks, chips, or permission.
A handful protect and accept him. A few tolerate his presence. But most Wilders watch him closely. Not as a threat, but as something unresolved. An uncertainty they haven’t decided what to do with.
As Luca heals, he is forced to navigate a world where accountability is personal rather than assigned, and where every action carries consequences he cannot predict in a place the City never offered: choice. The Wilders don’t command him. They don''t own him. And that freedom is more unsettling than any threat he’s ever faced.
And as the distance grows between who he was trained to be and who he might become, one question begins to surface:
If he is no longer a Prowler… what is he?
Wilder is the second book in the Prowler series, a character-driven dystopian science-fiction novel about identity, responsibility, and the quiet strain of trying to live by your code in a world that does not share your rules.
Genre: Science Fiction
