Defying the papacy in Cole Lutherford's world earns an immediate death sentence. As Cole attends the execution of poet Rupert Eastlake, he muses over the first time he met this man and begins to see just how unjust his impending death is. Yet, to admit there is something wrong with the papacy itself would put him in great peril. 

Even though Rupert's death is imminent, Cole battles with his morals: should he speak out against the papacy and find himself beneath the blade, or should he remain silent and let the papacy continue its dystopian reign?All Rights Reserved
