And as one of the Irêdêsênt, she has a duty to obey the Elders. When a plan is set in motion to stop a long lasting war with the planet Êlv, Sinêsthêià has no choice but to follow along with the machinations of others, no matter the cost.

Cassandra, a girl who can see the future through her dreams, has been held and controlled by a corporation, called Erudite, for most of her life.

When she is "rescued," or taken, by another corporation, called America, what will she make of a world that is entirely new to her? With conflict between the corporations rising will Cassandra finally find something to fight for?
