Part 1 complete.

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 =

Six people. One life.

In a post-war world where an energy source called vitae is coveted and harvested through weapons and engines called conductors, six people suddenly find themselves psychically connected across national lines.

A prince, a swindler, a soldier, a pirate, a chieftain's daughter, a peacekeeper. Feelings, memories, loyalties, self ― all are called into question. An assassination attempt, a border conflict, a missing peacekeeper, a shootout, a political upheaval ― how are these dots connected?

As these six individuals try to understand what is happening to them, they suddenly find themselves caught between the peace-keeping organization of Ophiuchus and a terrorist organization called ELPIS.

june 17: the story is completely finished but parts of it have been extensively rewritten, so i've decided to delete what was up so far and update it with the new changes. I'll update all the way to the part where I had last updated on the site and then will update one entire part a day.

note: atm, this story is currently being line-edited by an editor. after it is polished and receives a second round of beta-reads and edits, it will be published as an e-book and paperback around september-november. this story will be taken down after due to possible changes/variances. the sequel may or may not be posted in its place. long story short, this is basically the third draft.
