The Neverseen: A Young Adult Dystopian Novel - Paperback

Kana is a Neverborn-a child who the abortionist saved and gave away without legal documentation. Society sees him as a mistake, a teen without an identity chip or US citizenship. The military sees him as expendable. When he's selected for MANA, an elite training program that promises purpose and redemption, Kana believes enduring its brutal trials might finally prove his worth. But MANA is a lie. Under the cold command of Major Shipley, the program exists for one purpose: to eliminate Neverborns quietly. The trials aren't tests-they're executions disguised as service. Kana and the others aren't being trained. They're being erased. Betrayed and hunted, Kana is cast into a foreign prison, designed to destroy not just his body but his soul. And Major Shipley will stop at nothing to ensure Kana doesn't survive to expose his murders. But in the darkest places, Kana discovers what the system can't destroy: faith. Identity. The unshakable truth that his life-every Neverborn life-is sacred. With conviction and purpose that won't let him die, Kana faces an impossible choice: give up and die, or stand and fight to save the other POWs.
