Chapter 1: Ari

The technologically advanced March City is an oligarchical hell with a rigid status quo locking many in poverty. For 16-year-old high-achiever Ari, her powerful magical ability and sharp mind ensures a life of bliss and peace.

When Ari's sister disappears in a series of bombings, she digs deep beneath the Darwinistic society as war ensues between powerful leaders and the dissenting impoverished rising against the city's strict laws and police brutality -- and discovers a dark secret that could shatter the entire city. But, for her sister, time is running out.
