The Bellum Mundi, the conflict that pitted the two colossi of the planet Domus against each other, lasted for seven long years. The Imperium Infinitum emerged victorious, while the Malkut Rab fell, devoured by its greatest enemy. For the first time in history, a single flag, that of the two-headed eagle, was raised across the entire planet, heralding an unprecedented advance for humanity, right?
However, a grim threat loomed over the newly unified globe: an alien race, previously unknown, descended upon Earth, claiming what they considered their rightful claim. The humans, taken aback by this invading force, were subdued. Some were executed as a warning, others captured and displaced beyond the stars, while some remained on Earth, reduced to vassals of these new lords who aimed to dominate mankind.
Yet, a veteran general from the battles of the Bellum Mundi would rise in rebellion against the oppressors. Would he be able to challenge the damned empire and restore the sovereignty of his people?

In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen.
But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli.
In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom.
Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom.
