Don't go to Calgary. 

That's the message Marian received before continuing her journey on her self-imposed 'rite of passage'. Unheeded and disregarded, Marian continues on her journey, though her plans fall to pieces when she is thrown into a car crash and abducted by an extremist cult seeking to overthrow the world.

Faced with a forced marriage and the overbearing nature of the security placed around her, Marian must compromise on everything she's known to sacrifice and survive to escape with her life.

Welcome to the future, written in the past. A mutant plague has rendered part of the population as zombie-like humanoids. They have a conscious mind though, but their craving for brains is a bit of an antisocial issue. Being mostly made up of impoverished individuals, it is not surprised that they got cured cheaply and lastly, despite being the main test subjects. Lochlyn is their representative. She just wanted an education beyond elementary school. A little luckier stricken part of the infected population evolved into reverents. Reverants have a feudal system over the zombies to "keep them in order". The luck may have had to do with them being upper-class when being treated. Basilica is their representative. At eighteen, she wanted body modifications, a job, and etc... as a rite of passage entering adulthood. At least that's what she was thinking. The more she was told no, the more she wondered what she could do. There are still uninfected humans left in the U.S.A. Most of them are middle-class. Katrina is their representative. She gained a family member, but lost two. She aches to find out why she can never return home again. The three eighteen-year-old females, along with their beaus, journey for truth, equality, justice, restoration, love, and freedom lead them to the same end: the capital.

9 parts Ongoing Mature

She was mine long before she knew it. I'd been raised in shadows, in a world where power was survival and choice was an illusion. But then there was her. She slipped into my life, unexpected and defiant, eyes too bright for a town like this one, unafraid of what lay beneath the surface. She thought she could walk away, that she was strong enough to resist the pull. But every step she took only bound her tighter to me. She was delicate but stubborn, fierce enough to face what others ran from, even if she didn't fully see it yet. The only thing I've ever chosen. And I would break anything to keep her-everything, even her illusions of freedom. Because in a world that offered no choices, she became my one certainty. R.
