Power Means Freedom (New Commision)

Kou was never a true believer.

At fourteen, he joined the Equalists because they offered food, training, and a way out of the gutters of Republic City. Amon’s revolution wasn’t justice to him. It was a ladder.

Then Amon fell.

Six months later, Kou is rotting in prison with a covered Equalist tattoo, a loyal crew, and no future. Not until Harmonic Convergence gives him the one thing no Equalist should ever have.

Not peace. Not enlightenment. Not rebirth.

Power.

Kou doesn’t want balance.

He wants out.

He wants up.

He wants it all.

And if air is the element of freedom, he’s going to make the world choke on it.
