Jacob Hills is one of the government’s strongest operatives. In this world, power is divided into levels based on abilities. This hierarchy emerged after the first wave of Dark Minds—people who could control elemental powers. The virus that followed left millions dead, but survivors gained powers. Jacob was stationed in the first unit of the Hive Group, one of the world’s six strongest factions. Known for his calculating mind and strict moral code, Jacob’s strength wasn’t just physical.
