Journalist. Daughter. Dissenter.

Dani Matthews

Dani is caught between bloodlines and battle lines. The daughter of Dominion’s most powerful architect, she was raised in privilege but burdened by silence. As a reporter for The Beacon, she begins to question the truth she was raised to protect. Her journey is one of awakening—not in a blaze of rebellion, but in quiet resistance that grows louder with every step. She is observant, conflicted, and real. And when the time comes, she must choose between comfort and conviction.

Servant. Scholar. Loyal Citizen.

Colin Cordova

Colin plays by the rules—but he reads between the lines. He remains within the Dominion structure, not because he believes in it, but because he understands how it works. Highly intelligent and emotionally nuanced, Colin has learned how to survive with dignity in a world that limits him. His quiet intellect and warmth make him an unlikely confidant—and one of Dani’s most trusted allies.

Athlete. Dreamer. Escape Artist.

Robbie Thompson

Robbie was marked at age 12 and sent to The Colony—a place designed to erase history and suppress hope. But Robbie remembers. He remembers Dani. He remembers what freedom felt like before the walls closed in. Resourceful and steady, Robbie is not fueled by rage but by an unshakable desire to live fully and freely. Beneath the labels forced on him, he remains a strategist, a protector, and a believer in something more.

Psychologist. Mother. Strategist.

Linda Matthews

Linda helped build the world of Dominion—and paid a price for it. As the mind behind Illegis and the mother of Dani, she embodies the conflict between legacy and love. Cold on the surface but layered with unresolved pain, Linda’s choices shaped a nation and fractured a family. Her presence looms over the story like a shadow—never still, never simple, never fully understood.
