In the city of urban dystopia Neocopy (in the year 2199), sixteen-year-old Aiden Huang lives the cushy life in as the son of the top executives of a pharmaceutical company.  But when his life is thrown into disarray by the brutal sabotage of a rival company, he joins a group of "taggers", an anarchist collective of thieves, mercenaries, and hackers that steal, bribe, and kill to obtain the latest technology and trade secrets...for the highest bidder, of course.  There, he meets the dangerous and beautiful Luna Velata, a mysterious girl with a barcode stenciled on her neck and a checkered past nobody fully knows. 

As he navigates the treacherous underbelly of Neocopy outside the corrupt law system governing the city, Aiden is forced into a fight of survival against the powerful, oligarchical forces that seek to destroy him.  Meanwhile, he also begins to unravel the secret research his parents' company was conducting on the Bar Bar (an incredibly giant, impenetrable structure sitting in the middle of the ocean), secrets that could spell the end of Aiden's world as he knows it.

There is nothing as powerful in life as your first love. When this happens after clacking to a strange new world where people reverse age-let's say it's complicated. Demalynn is a seventeen-year-old girl from a small town who one day hears a loud 'clack' and is transported to the planet Saffire. Naked. Then things really get weird. No child has ever been born on Saffire; clackers make up the entire population. All people who clack under thirty reverse age: each year they grow younger. As an awkward teenager plagued by panic attacks who dabbles in comedy, Demalynn just wants to go home to be re-united with her family. Citizens over thirty grow old and are forced to mine the mineral that powers giant cooling stations to keep the planet habitable. Citizens solve disputes with gladiatorial combat. The prophesy of The Coming In Saffire's time of greatest need, a child will be born to a special woman, the Gravidarum. The child, who has no father of this planet, will be known as the Unum, a child to lead Saffire. The Helper will battle to keep the Gravidarum safe until the Unum is born. The people of Saffire have been waiting to see The Coming fulfilled. Demalynn assembles a group of clackers to get her home, the most important of which is a fellow clacker: eighteen-year-old Aiden. It is not long before Jago, the ruler of Saffire, learns that a woman on Saffire is pregnant and he unleashes all his power to prevent the birth. Jago will not give up power. Demalynn is surprised to find out she is the Helper, but is astounded to learn the identity of the Gravidarum. Demalynn must battle to stay alive and fumbles towards the realization that Aiden is much more than a close friend. She is certain, with the certainty that only a seventeen-year-old can possess, that Aiden is her only true love. Demalynn is desperate to find a way back home until she must make a choice: stay with Aiden on Saffire or go back home and re-unite her family. There's no place like home.
