In 2235, the one nation world of Axis is a stunning example of near perfection. Helmed by The Honorable Chase Vaughn, and solidified after a devastating clash that has been written down in history as The War of the 9th, Axis's economy is thriving, the low class is all but nonexistent, and technology has leaped forward several decades in less than one. Spirit, the energy of life, present in all living beings has been employed effectively in two practices- Techsmithing and Cyphering, attributing to advancements in science in the arcane, respectively. However, to those determined enough, the Spirit can offer so much more. Legend has it that when a man or woman reaches self actualization, a unique Awakening occurs, and they gain access to special abilities that epitomizes the power of their spirit. While some people view them as blessed, others regard them as self righteous offenders of the gift of life, as granted by their spirits. Among those of this school of thought is the The Honorable himself. In his resentment of their kind, Chase Vaughn has begun to rally the hearts and minds of the world against these gifted individuals with the help of a dark congregation, known as "The Order." A young Awakened named Melik Cloud, under the tutelage of his Aunt Kyomi, is taught of the plight against his people and must prepare for a fast brewing war while striving to understand a deeper war raging within himself.

Aliens invaded the Earth in 2011. Their intent was not to kill, but to enslave. Eva Moore was apart of the last spaceship sent to Earth to retrieve humans for enslavement. Stripped of everything, she is labeled as a number, 93-11 and assigned to field labor. While Eva struggles to embrace the life she fears she must live, a secret rebellion is going on behind the alien government's watchful eyes. Slaves are plotting protests and riots with hopes of freeing themselves. It's risky business, and Eva wants in. Unfortunately, the leader of the rebellion, Nat Cook (number 94-2), has a strong dislike of Eva and wants no part of her. Chemistry mixes as the two begin to realize that they need each other's help if this revolution is ever going to take action.
