Agent Cadwell Price of the BOM (Bureau of Oddity Management) was called to a part of the ocean just off the coast of Niue on a 10-40-09, an unknown, potentially dangerous object. Out of it comes a young woman of a different world with strange markings on her face, symbols on her arm, and out of her back, objects that look alarmingly like wings, a bullet in her stomach, and scars all across her body, wearing strange clothing. When the girl wakes, Price is dismayed to find out that she has no memory, though he thinks he might know someone who does. When he comes back, he comes with news both unsettling and dangerous.
Techa can't remember anything except her name and one word: Lethe. She has no idea what that means, no idea where's she's from, what she did to get there, just that she is definitely not suppose to be on Earth. The longer she spends here, though, the more she thinks that this is the safest place for her to be.
Aiden has lost everything. His world, his hope, his love. Then, he finds out that there may be a way to get all of these things back, in a Verse called Ittyves that thinks it's alone in the Multiverse, on a remote planet the residents call Earth.
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence.
As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you.
This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..."
Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.
