It's many years into the future, too many to accurately keep track of. Humanity has evolved and devolved, making the New Agers, members of a uto-totalitarian world governed only by the sacred law of Codex Vitae.
The world is one. All are taken care of and provided for. All work hard for the progression of the planet. Gone are race, creed and country. There is only Major 3 and New Agers. The world is perfect.
Or so Amari is taught.
Years of suppressed curiosity and an insatiable desire for more cause her to question the system and wonder how and why it was created and the answers reveal a monster lurking beneath the façade of a perfect society.
Now she is faced with a question.
And a choice.
What is true power?
And is she willing to sacrifice everything for it.
