Join the Seeker Khadija and her Seeker-Partner,
the Gen-a-wolf Ula, as they track a thief into the dangerous Highlands
that border the White River. They are to take
the thief back west, to the prison of Valley City
- the last city on the continent and the sole remaining vestige of Western
civilization. Valley
City was built by the
head of the North American Corporation just before a series of short and brutal
wars that marked final global economic and environmental collapse; what is now
referred to as The End.
Imagine a world with no electricity...no cell phones...no computers. A world still devastated by the effects of global pollution, of massive climate change, of widespread genetic manipulation, of nuclear war. Imagine a world where we are the ones in the history books. What will they write about you?
Khadija and Ula live in a world where electricity and technology exist only in stories from the old days, and the leaders of Valley City are said to be descended from the wisest of the Before People. It is a world of Gennys - genetically manipulated creatures - left behind in the aftermath of the third and final War. Some, like Ula, are from a line bred for
their courage, their strength, their fearlessness in the face of battle, but many were intended for more malignant purposes. It is a world where "muties" are commonplace; a world of lifeless dirt and dead seas. It is a world where humans and their kin barely survived mankind's foolishness, and the very planet is still attempting to recover.
Along their journey, Khadija will discover that everything she's been taught about what caused The End, and what came after, is not the truth. Even the thief, and his crime, are not what they seem to be. Both Khadija and Ula will have to decide where their loyalties lie, and how far they are willing to go to seek true justice in this new and frightening world.
