In a futuristic society, fate is decided by genetics, and love is only for the elite.

The mark appeared while I slept and can't be ignored. I must present myself to the Consulate and from there...

I don't know what happens. While I've been taught the mark is an honor, I have no idea what it means. Questioning isn't encouraged.

I must obey.

My change in status exposes me to a violent side to society that I never suspected. Brings me to a strange and wondrous place known as the surface, where I am immersed in a different way of living.

I discover pleasure. Am involved in intrigue. Learn about lies and different perspectives of the truth.

I must also make a choice between a man who is part of the caste system and the one who would destroy it.
