Hundreds of different races, created and then abandoned by the Preservers, co-exist on the artificial planet called Confluence. But the end of the world is drawing near, hastened by the terrible civil war that rages at its midpoint. Caught in the center of the strife is Yama, the last of the bloodline that constructed Confluence. A young man whose awakening powers have made him a weapon coveted by both sides in the brutal conflict, Yama is determined to seek out answers to the mystery of his birth -- in order to fulfill an astonishing destiny that even he cannot begin to imagine.
