PREQUEL to Mostly Human and Fully Human (Although honestly, if you read the description and want to read it, it stands on it's own pretty well.) Culver Morront never saw his life headed for the position of second in command to a ruthless and brutal woman heading a dictatorship. But his father had other plans for him, and so even when his morally grounded old school-mate Celeste leads a rebellion against him, Culver finds himself trapped in his dead-end job. To continue his ruling would be to lose any humanity he may have once had, but to defect means almost certain death. Will this young man raised in a loveless household learn what love is and to fight for what's right? Or will he take the more comfortable path and revel in his wealth and power, even at the expense of any and all human connection? Origins is a fast-paced story of humanity, friendship, and ultimately redemption. It is the last book in the Synecdoche Series.
