The most feared word in all of Anan—UNLICENSED.
Lila and Miles are about to find out why.

Forced into the dreaded Ruins while escaping OVRCorp and the menacing Destructor Lotair, Lila and her entourage face danger at every turn. The scavenging Unlicensed are ruthless and desperate. Beasts, mutated by the Ruins’ toxic air, thirst for blood. Rebel bands, driven by revenge, would do anything to take the head of OVRCorp’s wayward Prince.

For Lila, time is running out. She hasn’t succeeded in charging a stone yet—never mind mastering the full spectrum of Aeaurist skills she’s supposedly capable of as the legendary Hybrid.

To make matters worse, they are forced to travel with a Possessor— the most feared and repellant Aeaurist class of all—just to reach the Seer Ellawehn and gain her help. But is it worth placing themselves in the crosshairs of his depraved cruelty?

As secrets unravel and ambitions clash, Lila finds herself increasingly at odds with Miles. What lengths will he go to in order to save Dasha from the Bone Collector’s culling? Will either of them survive the siphoning facility, or the powerful Aeaurists Lotair has stationed there?

Featuring dozens of stunning illustrations by Melanie Fersko, UNLICENSED is the dark, high-stakes continuation of the Aeaura Saga—a story of survival, sacrifice, and the fight to defy your fate.
