Technology failed.
The 25th Century is not the century of robots, space ships and flying cars. Skyscrapers have fallen, highways crumbled, and modern technology faded into myth. It is a century of darkness.
Sasha Small is unhappy.
A young woman in a poor farming town, she cannot educate herself and she cannot leave to find work. Her future holds only unwanted marriage.
So she fights. She fights the bullies, her father, and her hopeless future. Her family views fighting as a sin. She cannot defend herself without betraying their faith. She cannot back down without betraying herself.
'It was a good fight.'
With those words, Sasha's life changes. She learns of a group called the Renaissance Army. They fight as she does, and she joins them.
Sasha takes up their cause, but can she find her calling?
