Sixteen-year-old Jace Rowen's birthday turns into a nightmare when he's framed for a crime he didn't commit and thrown into the heart of a brutal dystopian prison. Betrayed by those he once trusted, Jace discovers he's not just a scapegoat but a pawn in a sinister plot controlled by a ruthless regime. As the world outside crumbles into chaos and the rebel factions fracture, Jace must decide: become the hero everyone expects, or embrace the dark reckoning the Council fears most. Wrong Side of War is a gritty, action-packed journey through a shattered future where trust is rare, power is a weapon, and the line between friend and enemy burns thinner every day. Packed with biting humor, intense battles, and raw emotional depth, this story delves into betrayal, identity, and the price of fighting back when the whole world wants you broken. For readers who crave dark fantasy with heart, this is a tale of rising from ashes—and burning down the lies that bind us.
