Helen Stevens is a PFC with the United States Army. The Chinese have declared war on America, and using an ingenious strategy, have somehow invaded from within. Since the preemptive strike, the communist forces have taken most of Latin America, the southwestern states, southern California, and most of Colorado. The Rocky Mountains have halted the Chinese advancement west, but nobody knows how long that would last. Denver has been holding out against the siege, but they wouldn't last long, and the Army knew it. Stevens was handpicked out of her outfit in Cheyenne, WY to infiltrate Denver, recover some key assets, and assassinate a political enemy. But as Stevens makes her way south, she learns more and more about her target, about herself, and about her past. Soon, she will ultimately make a decision of following her orders, or following her heart.

Excerpt from the "Classic of All Nations: Begonia Chronicles - Astronomy" Year 5303 of the Yellow Emperor's Calendar, corresponding to 2596 AD. In the twelfth lunar month, on the day of Spring Beginning, within an unnamed mountain stream at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, spiritual energy re-emerged. Wisp by wisp, it drifted forth, ethereal and transcendent. The spiritual stream flowed, blessing the land. Later generations would name this: The Origin of Destiny. Was it a single stone that shook heaven and earth? Or was it a seed that chose to break through the dust of history... Is the history of human society merely the history of humans themselves? The Land of Begonia, the Nation of Tsunamis, the Tower of Ocean Currents, the Confederation of Cities-four great powers, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface. And beyond these great powers, various factions lie dormant, their intentions unclear. Gu Li, bearing the secret of the Nuwa Stone, is abducted to a mysterious church and reduced to an power test subject. What secrets will she uncover? In the "Land of Begonia," five great families answer the call of destiny, protecting this realm by the mandate of heaven. When the monsters from the laboratory break their chains, when development transcends ethics, when order and morality cease to exist... where will humanity turn?
