Imagine living in a perfect world with no violence, no pain, and no corruption. Everything around you is structured and best suited for the needs of the entire community. Everyone is content. All you have come to know is peace and order.

What if I told you that behind the utopian guise, this place is actually your worst nightmare? 

All you have previously known is a lie... including what you really are. The worst part is: you can't escape it.

Eighteen year old Ko'Ida has lived in the perfect city of Sholahn her entire life, and has no reason to question the beloved system the Officiator has put in place, until curiosity grips her. This choice changes her life completely, and in a way no one could have expected.
