A dystopian story about love and hate and the power to overcome societal prejudices. Lana Dryden is a first-born Elite whose greatest fear is that she will suffer the same fate as her mother; a forced procreation contract. Defying her abusive father, her government, and the cold and unfeeling Rider - the trained and deadly emissary that the government sent to oversee her contract - Lana risks her life to escape to Ottawa, Canada's only remaining city. The Rider, the product of a government run genetic experiment, has been tasked by his superior officer, Brigadier General Thorndyke, with first overseeing the procreation contract and later hunting down the run-away Lana. Cynical by nature, the Rider sees Lana as nothing more than a spoiled Elite daughter trying to buck her fate. It isn't until they are both caught up in the shady side of a rebellion against the Brigadier General that they begin to see something more in each other. But by then, it might already be too late for each of them.
