Nayeli is a slave in an Ancient Roman town called Sarni and is content with her life, that is until a raiding party of Germanic tribesmen kidnap her and try to bring her back to Germania. She has mysterious amber eyes, long jet black hair, and a tongue that often gets her in trouble. But there's something about her that goes deeper than what it seems. Who is she really? Why is she where she is now? Is there more to life than just bitterness and sadness? Nayeli doesn't think so. She has seen a wold that is far from kind; however, her best friend and sister in all but blood, Neorah, believes there is a way out of this cycle of pain and suffering. Along the road, many characters are introduced, not all are who they might appear to be. The sickness of the human state is exposed by some; however, there is a prize, a victory, and a goal worth reaching.

It's 2049, and the world has crashed and burned. A new race of beings called the Neila have risen from what the humans left behind. Four teenagers believe that they are alone, but soon they find themselves being hunted, and an impossible task resting on their shoulders.

[season 1] In the near-future, mankind succeeds in curing A.I.D.S. However, something much worse fills the void, an aggressive sickness that only affects females. Though only 50% of Earth's population is at risk of contracting M.A.I.D.S., the illness impacts everyone. World War III begins as panic-stricken governments seize healthy females in order to ensure the survival of their people, but even warfare and forced breeding programs can't halt the inevitable: mankind is dying out. An international team of scientists combine existing technologies, theories, and desperation to create Synthia, a synthetic human female capable of M.A.I.D.S.-free existence and, most importantly, reproduction. Biomechanical humans, dubbed Synthias, are mass-produced, and mankind's population begins to slowly increase after being decimated by the illness and war. The cost of salvation is souls. Synthias are denied basic human rights because they are manufactured, not born. After staging an unsuccessful uprising, the facilities where Synthias are mass-produced undergo great changes. Synthia manufactories are re-opened as boutiques where a man's mate can be custom-ordered, right down to the various skills and knowledge the Synthia possesses. A truly male-oriented world emerges around this new technology. Adam, the first son of a Synthia, wants something more than a mere breeding machine. He wants a true partner and something like the "love" he only knows about from pre-war media. The Synthia he creates is something new that threatens to destroy the status quo... Adam's Synthia is not an it. Adam's Synthia is a she. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.A.I.D.S. is the winner of two Watty Awards (2011).
