Corporate orphans--children whose parents are forced to abandon them just to make ends meet--have become commonplace. Twins Eli and Mabel Harper are two such kids, trapped beneath the heel of an establishment that seems content to burn the future in exchange for today's convenience.

In this world, compliance is key to survival. When Eli loses his temper protecting Mabel, he's prepared to shoulder the weight of the consequences alone--even if the cost is his death.

If only that was all they wanted from him...

Someone has put a price on the very things that make us human. Someone willing to pay it with the suffering of kids like Eli.

The strands of fate are tightening, the tapestry which binds Earth and Thera slowly coming into focus. Neither time nor space can rend the bonds of destiny.

A destiny that is coming for Eli Harper.
