300 years ago, World War III began with a border dispute. World Wars IV through VIII were over who was the strongest of nations. Countries merged completely, but one power emerged. America became a dictatorship with nuclear energy to spare. The world fell to America's hand as they became the Imperial Union of the States. Very few resisted, and those who did were destroyed or imprisoned. Still, there are always people to fight against injustice...
Shade had a short fuse and a missing memory. She didn't know her name. She didn't remember much at all. Only one thing stuck well: insults. And she knew how many times the Imperials had insulted her. Now, they were going to pay.

Darius didn't want to be in the Valley. He was a victim of circumstance! He'd been framed for stealing a gun. And ammunition. And those knives... Well, he just didn't want to be there.
