The year is 3056 in the country of Syntoria. Most of the planet has been taken over by man-eating monstrosities known only as the mutants. To ensure the survival of humanity, Sytoria and many other countries like it created colonies: areas with high-voltage fences that surround the perimeter to keep out any mutants that may think of intruding. Nine of them exist in Syntoria: Raima (my home), Electix, Minthré, Nobi, Shakyoro, Zakroth, Vezlar, Anthorak and Thurin. Each one is slightly different, but it's not freedom. The place where I live, Raima, is the stereotyped 'poverty' colony. Almost everyone is below the poverty line and very few buildings are left in a good condition. Many kids are orphaned like me, but there are a few rich people from Minthré that have moved here recently. I haven't met a single person that doesn't want to have the mutants eradicated and the fences torn down. The government sends out soldiers periodically to try and destroy them, but few ever end up coming back alive to their families. What we need more than anything is a hero. And who am I? I'm just an orphan. You can call me Seira. This is the the story of how I--and my friends Mia, Seth, Ravenna, Blake and Eli--changed forever. All characters belong to me, Kiera Savage
