Almost Twenty-year-old Janson hated the world he was born into, thrust into this cursed country with a less than favorable chance at survival. He was taught to grow up fast and run away faster. He raised on the outskirts of his town; living in an orphanage can be tough for anyone, but this one is different. He and his orphaned brothers and sisters are trained to fight back against injustice. He sets out to use his skills in helping the misfortunate. But what happens when his small acts of defiance turn into something bigger?
