Dreams of Freedom
by Jeremy Cleveland
One was manufactured. One was ordinary. Together, they are unbreakable.
Garret was engineered in a lab for one purpose: to serve the Empire. But after a daring escape, he finds himself hiding in plain sight among the very slaves he was built to oversee. Created as a weapon, he has no idea how to navigate a world of real human emotion. He was never allowed to be human.
Justin has spent his entire life enduring the grueling reality of Imperial slavery. He always believed he was completely ordinary. He was wrong.
Thrown together in the crucible of an interstellar rebellion, an undeniable bond sparks between them. But as their connection deepens, dangerous secrets unravel. Justin uncovers latent, impossible abilities that shouldn't exist, while Garret learns the beautiful, terrifying reality of having something—and someone—he cannot bear to lose.
As the Empire moves to crush the uprising and reconquer the liberated worlds, Garret and Justin must fight not just for the galaxy's freedom, but for each other.
