博客來苦難，是覺醒的開端──
在這顆星球上，人人都被賦予不同的「恩典」──有些人擁有超凡的肉體強化能力，有些人能自由操控心靈意念。
但對某些人來說，恩典是無法逃脫的詛咒。
阿科斯來自愛好和平的一族，恩典讓他家破人亡，即將繼任神諭官的唯一兄長更被星球獨裁者所挾。為了拯救摯愛兄長，他在黑暗陣營中忍辱負重，神諭卻寫下了無可挽回的結局──他注定死於敵人之手。
身為獨裁者雷薩克之妹的賽拉，恩典讓她成了眾人畏懼的黑暗之刃。她承受著雷薩克的冷酷利用，無止境的絕望痛楚僅在與阿科斯肌膚相觸的那一刻停歇。她痛恨自己的軟弱，卻不得已仰賴這個意欲復仇的孤高青年。
不同境遇的兩人，擁有同樣的堅強與決心。仇恨和鮮血淬煉出的情感，在種族家國的對立中是否值得交付信任？他們又能否抵抗失衡的世界、失控的命運？
On a planet where violence and vengeance rule, in a galaxy where some are favored by fate, everyone develops a currentgift, a unique power meant to shape the future. While most benefit from their currentgifts, Akos and Cyra do not—their gifts make them vulnerable to others’ control. Can they reclaim their gifts, their fates, and their lives, and reset the balance of power in this world?
Cyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who rules the Shotet people. Cyra’s currentgift gives her pain and power—something her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies. But Cyra is much more than just a blade in her brother’s hand: she is resilient, quick on her feet, and smarter than he knows.
Akos is from the peace-loving nation of Thuvhe, and his loyalty to his family is limitless. Though protected by his unusual currentgift, once Akos and his brother are captured by enemy Shotet soldiers, Akos is desperate to get his brother out alive—no matter what the cost. When Akos is thrust into Cyra’s world, the enmity between their countries and families seems insurmountable. They must decide to help each other to survive—or to destroy one another.
