2541 A.D. Cedric Fuentes, the exiled heir to Illgarat's throne, lives in a cave. He disguises himself to sell fish in the market and evades Quellers, who enforce Lord Mortred's laws and subdue rebellion. Living in Illgarat means surviving under the Crown's iron fist. Poverty and disease run rampant, while the poor suffer and the rich live with extravagant luxuries. After a close brush with a Hybrid, Cedric encounters the Allied Rebels of Illgarat (ARI). They give him a chance to learn to use his dormant Inborn powers. With a new home on Mount ARI and faithful friends by his side, Cedric embarks on an expedition to uncover artifacts from the 21st century.
But despite his newfound sanctuary, enemies still lurk in the shadows. After a shocking revelation, Cedric must choose between his loyalties and who he can really trust.
