Lorelai Ruse, a teenager in the technology driven Society called TECH, finds that she has the Gene, a genetic malfunction. She has spent her whole life with only one mission: to keep the Gene hidden for fear that what curses through her blood will only result in her death. Lorelai believed that she could live with the secret behind closed doors, but just as she starts to integrate herself into the Society, her father gets promoted as a TECH Official and realizes that there is no way she can keep this deadly secret hidden much longer.
She fights to stay "normal" and unnoticed by the leader, but as the Gene tries its hardest to override the system programmed in her very being, pain, terror, and fear awaken to torment her. The secrets she knows that could never get released to the leader were now threatening to be released. When she thinks that there is nothing to do but give up, Lorelai finds out that the minority group, the Lessers, have started to revolt against the High Official and are ultimately creating problems in the High Official's order. She believed that the secret would be safe behind locked doors, but a series of sudden events push her to find out the truth; why does she have it and why does it pose such a threat against the High Official? With these questions on her mind, she seeks the Lessers out to demand why she stands out from the rest.
And while the High Official starts to put the pieces together, Lorelai quickly finds out that Lessers have the answers that she wished to have her whole life.
But, what Lorelai doesn't know and is soon to find out, is that they also have the ones she never knew she could search for.

There is no such thing as a good side and bad side in a war. We are both the good and bad side. It just depends on your perspective. At the end of the day when the sun goes down we are still the murderers who took the lives of hundreds and sometimes thousands. We are still the ones who have orphaned children. And you call us saints but no, soldiers are murderers who hide behind patriotism and lies.

WARNING THIS IS A SEQUEL. Go read Journey before you read Ascension.
Lorelei and Indiana escape from Headquarters only to find out that the war is in full swing. even though the Colony is getting more and more recruitments everyday they still only have a fraction of the amount the Extorians have.
They start to receive aid from a planet known as Orion A in the Orion Binary system. The people on Cambaar start to wonder if they really are on the planet of Cambaar. Someone is keeping secrets and they might decide the fate of the Colony.
The plan to end the war just might work but it is the most controversial topic in history. The people of Cambaar split into two sides over the final battle. Lorelei still doesn't believe it will work.
As the war rages forward relationships unravel. Sanity is lost. And blood is spilt across the forbidding land. They finally begin to understand what it means when they hear "The price of war isn't just blood".
