Located at the most inhospitable edge of the northern steppe, Ledovgrad is a scar of concrete and steel that refuses to fade. Once the industrial heart of the regime, it is now a terminal city where permafrost reclaims the avenues and factory chimneys spew a yellowish haze that bleeds into the radioactive fog of the exclusion zones.

To them, you were "illiterates"—people who knew only how to survive and were therefore easy to exploit.
No one else seemed to notice the cracks, not even the perceptive Aksana. Three meals a day has a way of blinding people, a luxury difficult to criticize when you've known true hunger. But you, who had often starved yourself to ensure the others ate, saw the A.O.H. for what it was. Your defianc
