Equilibrium:

This book out of three others after take place somewhat near the Renaissance(NOT REALLY the Reanissance but it has a Renaissance influence because of the "rebirth"/enlightenment idea). Except that in this universe, things seem differ than our world. They have the same things, but their history is different than ours
Book 1 (The dawn of past) : Yasakin is a 17 year old young man who seems to have dreams, but he doesn't have an insight as to what they could mean. His adopted parents and creatures in the woods have talked about their god Hikari and how the world came to be. Other praise the god while others disown it, and want nothing to do with it. Will Yasakin ever find out what his dreams mean?
