Exiled

The Mules, Canisters, Couriers.
Call them what you want, they won't care.
Seven to eighteen, just everyday children.
That's who they picked to be their smugglers, to move their goods across borders and under radars.
They're not smuggling drugs or guns that would be too conventional.
They're moving the most powerful weapon of all, the mind.
The minds of those who have been exiled from the State.
Living people, diminished into a consciousness in the farthest regions of a child's mind.
It's a popular business you see, each day fifteen people are exiled by the Carthan government. Just thrown away like meaningless trash.
One in particular is the consciousness of Alexandru Lennox, the kid genius exiled years prior because he criticized the Marshal of State. His parents paid a man known as "The Seahorse" to sneak their son back into the State and give him a new identity. Will his family's wealth save him or sign his death certificate?
