Dynasty

Coming from a country of corruption and violence, Elaine and many Americans now live life by catering to the wealthy. Serving pat thai and salmon to some of the richest men and women in the world on one of the most extravagant cruise ships in Singapore, traveling to foreign countries, and sleeping in luxurious rooms should be a fantasy only the luckiest live. If only words could describe what really occured thousands of miles off the shore.

As the world enters its twenty-second century, many of the most unlikely countries have risen to superpower status. Meanwhile, the poorest countries only fall farther below the poverty line. But one superpower, the United States, is in turmoil. Not by poverty or war, but by threats inflicted by other major countries. Elaine and Daniel are one of many citizens that the U.S has sworn to "protect" by keeping them in Shelter, an underground safety zone that seems to keep them from harm but also tears them from families that rely on them. What the public doesn't know, though, is where those in Shelter go afterwards, and those in Shelter learn as they're shipped to foreign countries that they will never see their families again.

Elaine soon realizes the Conspiracy is true, that their own country has sold them off for reasons bigger and uglier than they imagined. But she, Daniel, and many others on the ship have people that they are all willing to sacrifice blood, sweat, and life for. All it takes is the downfall of the biggest, most powerful dynasty that's ever existed in history.
