Innocence is subjective, and power always has its price--so his elders told him. Silas Blane is destined for greatness. Born into an elite family with many skeletons in the closet, he learns to harness his inherent shamanic powers and finds purpose in the Old Ways of his ancestors. As he turns fifteen, Silas walks a treacherous edge between love and expectation and discovers the fragility of desire. Nothing is what it seems in a universe where power is fleeting, and enemies close their grasp around the last hope of the free worlds. Vintage science fiction, retro-futurism, and space opera blend in this decopunk drama. Here we have chromed fusion rockets, spooky secret societies, shamanic bone oracles, robots for every occasion, and a perilous, affluent world which hails to "Downton Abbey" and "Dynasty".
