Emperor Wray Vasteri was the ruler of the Tornian Empire. His house had ruled the empire ever since the great infection, which struck over 500 years ago, and he feared he would be the last. The number of compatible females was dwindling faster than anyone knew. If they could not find compatible females soon, their entire civilization would cease to exist. It was the reason he agreed to meet with Liron, the emperor in Kaliszian space.

Sarah knows that if she wants to save Nathan, she’s going to have to do it soon. Sirens from the city tell her that the chips are now inactive, but will that be enough to let her break into the city and get the man she loves back? The last thing Nathan was expecting was a rescue. He'd be happy about it, too, if it wasn't for the fact that Bella is going to get punished in his place. Will he be able to convince Natasha and Sarah to turn back and help her, or will her life be on his conscience forever?

Sarah knows that the guards are out looking for her. She knows that it’s only a matter of time before they catch up, and that when they do, she might not be able to fight them all off. Natasha is close to finishing the device which will disconnect all the chips, but it’s missing one vital piece. Will she be able to find it before it’s too late? Nathan thought he was going to escape from the bunker. That was before Bella stopped him. Now he’s stuck. The only contact with the outside world he can have is through monitoring people’s chips.

When Sarah is attacked by a wild animal, it’s Natasha who saves her. So when Sarah gets an opportunity to make a switch so that it isn't Natasha who gets handed into The City of Hope, she’s willing to do it. But when Natasha refuses, Sarah finds herself in a difficult position. Nathan knows that it’s his fault that Natasha has been taken, and he’s willing to do everything he can to save her, but does that include betraying her?

Sarah finds herself making some difficult choices and having to pick between old friends and new. Will she take the side of the person who had always had hers or will she defend the one who can't defend himself? Nathan has had his opinion of Sarah turned on its head. He thought that she was a cold and heartless bounty hunter, but he’s started to realize that there’s a lot more to her than that. When he realizes that her mysteries are only making him fall for her harder, he knows he has an important choice to make.

When the world government realized that the world was about to be damaged beyond repair, they had to take drastic action. A thousand years later, the last of the population is living without technology and under the strict regulations set by The City of Hope council. The problem is that nobody can fight back. Each person is required by law to have a chip inserted into them at birth. This chip can be deactivated at any time, and once that happens, your life is deactivated with it.
