"A deep and sprawling epic science fiction tale that will span generations. This debut novel blends the complex emotions and relationships that each of us carry and how they lead us to the paths we now follow."
In the Year of the Holy 1312, the world stands on the brink of revolution. Arthur Cawthorne seeks to serve within the Elites, to make his family, his friends and his nation proud. Yet the Elites have also lost their way. As he carves a path forward, it is love that will keep him whole. Love of those who raised him. Love of those who were there, and then were not, leaving only their ghosts. And the love of the woman who reminds him of why he must continue to stand, even when everything around him falls.
