They remember believing him guilty of unspeakable crimes, condemning him, and then watching as other men of his unit beat him until he no longer drew breath.But Nevare Burvelle didn't die that day, though everyone believes they saw it happen. He was cornered by a power far more intractable than an angry mob.When he was a boy, the magic of the Specks – the dapple-skinned tribes of the frontier forests – claimed Nevare as a saviour; severing his soul in two, naming his stolen half Soldier's Boy and shaping him into a weapon to halt the Gernian expansion into their lands and save their beloved ancestor trees.Until now Nevare has defied the magic, unable to accept his traitorous fate. But the magic has won: it has extinguished his once golden future, devastated his family and has now turned his own people against him. Faced with endangering the only loved-ones he has left, Nevare has no choice but to surrender to its will and enter the forest.But surrendering to his Speck destiny is only the beginning of his trials. Before he submits completely, Nevare makes one desperate last attempt to deter the Gernians from the Barrier Mountains without causing them harm. But the magic accepts no compromise. Exhausted, Nevare can no longer suppress his traitorous Speck self, Soldiers Boy. Losing control, he becomes a prisoner in his own body; able only to watch helplessly as his other half takesSoldier's Boy is determined to stop the Gernian expansion at all cost, and unlike Nevare, he has no love, nor sympathy for his spirit-twin's world.

First, a warning; then, a threat. Then, an attack that leaves a series of seemingly-innocuous historical photos destroyed.
A mysterious coded poem - attached to a 1954 archived photo of the National Service riots in Singapore - sets off a chain of events that unravels secrets from the past.
But no one except Owen, the school’s resident freak, can see that the obscure mathematical and disparate clues are connected by only one thing—concepts linked to the Fibonacci sequence. It’s up to Owen and his only friend Clara to decipher what the clues mean, and to uncover a hidden secret—Singapore’s dark past during a time when the dreaded Kempeitai reigned and communism held its sway—before it is too late.
