The people of the City have lived in fear of an unseen, terrifying enemy for many centuries. An energy field that completely encloses the City is all that protects them. Or maybe not. Maybe it is all a misunderstanding. Now a single man has begun to doubt what he had been taught. The impenetrable shield that surrounds the City has cut it off from the rest of the universe for over 2000 years, and Earth has long ago been forgotten in the mists of time. But what if that shield is not protecting them but imprisoning them? Awakening forces that threaten the survival of the City itself, the search for the truth by a man and his daughter will take them back to the very origins of the City, and make them question the nature of the City and themselves. They are in a race against time as the City begins a gradual collapse, and their pursuit of the truth becomes increasingly perilous. This is a story in which the struggle to know oneself soon becomes a struggle for survival. Will the price of knowledge be death or release?
