The world has learned to forget.
Forgotten children vanish in the night. No alarms. No justice. Just silence.
But one boy refuses to look away.
Alex isn’t a hero—he’s just a seventeen-year-old kid with blood on his hands and a promise to keep. When the last of the missing orphans end up trapped on a remote island, Alex infiltrates the nightmare himself.
Surrounded by armed men, corrupt powers, and impossible odds, Alex becomes a spark in the dark—a broken weapon burning for one last act of defiance.

If you made it to the end of this volume, thank you—for reading, for feeling, and for remembering the kids who fall between the cracks. This story is fiction. But what inspired it is not.
Volume 2 begins in a very different place.
And Alex’s story isn’t over.
Not by a long shot.
