Sixteen-year-old Ockham is an orphan from the mean streets of New Lexington. With no family to shelter him, and no money to pay the tithe that would spare him from conscription he has no choice to become a member of AEGIS, the world government organization that was formed to stand in defense of humanity against all the things that go bump in the night. He will be forced to learn the art of combat and to take part in a war he has no way of fully understanding. Together with his teammates he must brave the grueling training of Fort Grimm if they have any hope of survival in a world that wants to eat them alive.
