The Society

An alien race, called the Fures, has been kidnapping and integrating the most beneficial of different species into their society for decades. All other planets have learned to remember the seventh full moon every year. Eventually the humans began to look forward to the day, calling it the Choosing. Celebrating the taken fifteen year old with parties and grand festivities.

Camden Hill had never been fond of the Choosing, not really appreciating the Fures' decision to steal the youth of the planet. Though he never worried about them taking him, because who would take him of all people? Yes, he excelled in academics to the point of often being called a genius, but he was just one kid out of millions who fit that type of criteria. Besides, academics was just one of his few skills. He didn't excel in much so he figured that the Fures would probably choose someone else, someone better.

So when Camden is chosen he's surprised to say the least.

He's put into a group of other Chosen from four other planets and taken to the Fures planet, a place of technology and inventions, so advanced that Camden couldn't fathom how they had evolved so much.

But as he's becoming accustomed to the planet, he realises that the Fures may have been taking people as part of a much larger plot. A plot that wouldn't benefit any of the planets involved except their own.
