Those who were the First Ones live again. Life. Death. Time. Existence and reality; the world as we know it is a fabricated lie designed to give back to an emotionally devoid species what they lost. Mae Daniels, a small-town girl from Virginia, whose sole desire to wrestle control of her life from a tragic fate, might be our only hope for survival. A twist of fate will thrust her and an unlikely ally - the President of the Coalition, along on a rollercoaster of trials as they fight to defend the human species. Mae will be forged anew. Her spirit broken, her will tested and heart tempted. Will she be able to fight her demons, pull together in time, and ascend into the person - the being - humanity needs her to be? Personal strife threatens to unravel President Branson, a former Recon Marine, and ultimately the future of the human species as he fights to accomplish his goal: Protect humanity. Faced with our greatest challenge, will we rise together and overcome this adversity or fall divided into a fractured race? With adversaries at every turn, the future is uncertain. Mae Daniels is our last hope. Will President Branson be hers?
