Jacy and Amelia have a date with destiny.

When drafted to serve at the world government’s secret commune in Michigan, their young lives take quite different turns. After meeting while journeying to the site, Jacy out of a sense of duty goes to the dark commune, but Amelia flees into the night and joins the underground Bennu movement.

Years later, their destinies meet, for what they’ve done since the fateful night they met will decide the world’s fate. Will it live under the crushing bootheel of General Balthasar’s genetically modified Terrans or find freedom that so many of the Bennu movement have died for?
