The remains of Earth have been broken up into five Sections- Pacem, Bonum, Victoria, Superstes, and Gloria. They all fight for different characteristics, and each one has a will to win. Bellona, named after the Goddess of War, lives a cruel life under her father, Bane Omner, the ruler of Gloria. All nerves in her brain which contain the ability to have emotions have been swiped by her father, and she always does as he says. At least, until she meets Hayden, whom teaches her maybe- just maybe- she's hasn't lost her mind, and can still feel after all. The first book in the Pain, Love, And Insanity series, this follows Bellona and her decisions which could alter the society, the Sections, and herself.
