Ever since I was a child, I have always dreamed of being taken away from the traveling vessel that I’d known throughout my entire life. I dreamed of exploring the uncharted corners of the universe and the various galaxies that magically float in a dimension of stardust and empty space. It’s my seventeenth year of life, and I finally get my dream.
I just wish I could take it back.
When they came for us, I didn’t panic. I didn’t cry. When they made us kneel before them, I went into an abyss of darkness, feeling completely and utterly alone.
Then I awoke.
I awoke to fresh air. My eyes dared to adjust to the natural light of a star. I could feel dirt between my nails as the rain fell from the sky. I was in awe, marching along with hundreds of others that were chained just like me. I explored the world with my eyes, not knowing that I was being led to a public execution before thousands of spectators. It was only just the beginning.
All I ever wanted was to live, to be like my father. I was handed a cold and heavy blade, told to spill blood or watch mine. I am told to kill for the freedom of my family. It’s either them, or my father. Either them, or my mother and sister. It’s either them, or the love of my life.
I choose them.
North is a space-born, a member of the starship Arcadia, who does his part by helping his father in the fields. The starship Arcadia has traveled for 116 years, and is days from its ascension to a new planet.
But North and his people have been misled. He soon discovers that the system inhabits a breed of filthy beings that enslave his people. When he wakes up, he's marched through a dark corridor, the chants of one hundred thousand strong calling for blood. North takes a blade, inspired by fear and vengeance, and must fight his way through the arena to the victory of himself, but more importantly, his people.
North and his new companions will stop at nothing to bring down this world and the corrupt system by which they are forced to sling their blades.
