The greatest tragedy the world has ever known turned out to be the ultimate catalyst for change. In the wake of World War III, which decimated most of the world's population, the remaining survivors vowed to not continue to repeat the same mistakes of the past. Fortunately, they had something previous generations did not have - advanced technology. The year is 2117 and this once shattered civilization has become prosperous again. Innovative forms of technology have enabled them to abandon the old model and re-engineer a better way of living for all. Brain implants and genetic modifications have made an entire population educated, healthy, and kind. Despite the benefits of this technology, it has created some unforeseen side effects that threaten humankind's existence. When technology proves to be inept at solving the world's problem, a new hope emerges in the unlikeliest form - a young orphan girl. *** Cyberpunk, dystopian, technology, future, futurism, scifi, heroine, prodigy...

* "I just want to appreciate the world for a moment.” She let out a dreamy sigh. “Doesn’t it just make you want to live forever?” * Last year, Wren was confronted with the news she never believed she would hear: Sohpia Pricely, her perfect sister and elite socialite, had committed suicide during a yacht party whilst she was away at boarding school for the summer in the Hamptons. When her family is torn apart, Wren Pricely returns to the Ivy League school her older sister left behind and becomes determined to prove that her Sophia didn't take her own life, a truth Wren has been certain of every since she first heard the heartbreaking news. But Wren wants more than proof and clean justice. She wants to find out who really killed her sister and is dead set on making them pay the only way she sees fit: Revenge.

Crystal is taken from all she knows. School, family, friends, gone. And she hasn't even a clue where she is or how far away she is from home. And the man who has her is dangerous. Very dangerous.

What if we were all connected in some way? Across time? Across space?
