I cannot tell you whether this story takes place in the future or the past, only that it's in a time much unlike our own.
A war has begun in Alder's County. Spurred on by a gang of gun-slinging teens turned soldiers, civilian forces across the corners of the land find themselves caught between submitting to an anonymous dictatorship and war - and when their protectors in the north abandon them, they begin to turn on one another in a desperate fight to live another day.
On all sides, there are no evil men. Only those hungry for power, freedom, and revenge.
And one woman that just wants to light a couple matches.
