Publisher's Synopsis
Some legends don't begin with a hero. They start with the villain.
100 years in the future, after a series of brutal wars have changed the face of the globe and destroyed civilization as we know it, the majority of the planet has fallen under the control of a single government known as the World System. At the age of ten, every citizen documented by the World System is required to take the Operations Potential Exam (OPE), a test that determines what job the citizen will occupy for the remainder of their lives. It has been eleven years since 301-14-A tested into the soldier class. Loyalty and service are all that he knows. Until a group of freedom fighters emerge from the untamed Wilderness and incite rebellion in the capital city. Until he witnesses the atrocities of his government with his own eyes. Until her. Now everything is different. Now nothing is certain.
