Hand of Defiance

Inkarchist
In the aftermath of a war that toppled every government on Earth, the world is rebuilt on anarchist ideals: no rulers, no money, only freedom and trade. At the heart of this revolution stood The Hand — a band of Ascendants whose powers reshaped history. But peace came at a terrible cost. Aiden, the most beloved among them, betrayed his comrades when he realized his gift — strength drawn from admiration — would fade in obscurity. Ordered by Oracle, his fiancée and strategist of The Hand, Aiden was killed. His death left scars that never healed, especially for Jax, who idolized him. Now, years later, The Hand gathers for their annual memorial. What begins as grief and resentment shatters into horror when a broadcast reveals the impossible: Aiden lives. And he leads the Apex Faction, a movement bent on domination, declaring war on equality itself. As old wounds reopen and loyalties fracture, The Hand must face the truth: the revolution isn’t over. The age of defiance has only just begun.
