  Imprisoned and forgotten here, but our time is coming soon

  And we’ll all keep holding on, to the last ember,

  ‘Cause you’re not who you were, but you can be - what you remember

  Listen, Listen, the walls come crumbling down

  We’ve spent so long in silence, we forgot how sweet it sounds

  Our eyes will adjust to the bright light of day

  They’ll watch as we all fly away

  ‘Cause we’re waiting and we’re watching for the next phase of the moon

  The show must go on and our curtain’s rising soon

  If we keep our eyes on love, standing together

  You’ll never be broken or alone - if you remember

  When we walk through the fire

  I won’t be afraid

  Take a breath

  Take a stand

  And take my hand

  Our hearts will find a way

  ‘Cause we’re dreaming for tomorrow under our Chameleon Moon

  We’ll forget about the ghosts of our despair, doubt and doom

  And the brightest burning fire starts with one ember

  You’re not what you lost,

  You’re not what they say,

  Believe me,

  That all you have to do -

  Is remember

  Memory Lullaby Waltz

  ☾

  Sun down, moon on the rise,

  Stars are alight, close your eyes.

  Now the world is falling asleep,

  Rest now, you’re safe in my arms.

  Good Night, Dream Sweet,

  In the morning, I’ll be here

  World turns, years pass us by,

  Stars fade away, but not lullabies.

  Keep these words in your heart,

  ‘Til tomorrow, I love you, sleep tight.

  So Good Night, Dream Sweet,

  In the morning, I’ll be here, I will be here

  The city of Parole is burning. Like Venice slips into the sea, Parole crumbles into fire.

  The entire population inside has been quarantined, cut off from the rest of the world, and left to die—directly over the open flame. Eye in the Sky, a deadly and merciless police force ensures no one escapes. Ever. All that’s keeping Parole alive is faith in the midst of horrors and death, trust in the face of desperation… and their fantastic, terrifying, and beautiful superhuman abilities.

  Regan, silent, scaly stealth expert, is haunted by ten years of anxiety, trauma and terror, and he’s finally reached his limit. His ability to disappear into thin air isn’t enough: he needs an escape, and he’ll do anything for a chance. Unluckily for him, Hans, a ghostly boy with a chilling smile, knows just the thing to get one. It starts with a little murder.

  But instead of ending a man’s life, Regan starts a new one of his own. He turns away from that twisted path, and runs into Evelyn, fearless force on stage and sonic-superheroic revolutionary on the streets. Now Regan has a choice—and a chance to not only escape from Parole, but unravel the mystery deep in its burning heart. And most of all, discover the truth about their own entwining pasts.

  Separately they’d never survive, much less uncover the secret of Parole’s eternally-burning fire. Together, they have a chance. Parole’s a rough place to live. But they’re not dead yet. If they can survive the imminent disaster, then everything will be okay.
