For 100 years Natio has been growing, rising from the ashes of what once was the United States. But now, only a shell of this great powerful nation remained. To ensure Natio continues to thrive, they recruit the best and brightest their country has to offer as part of an advanced training program. Dantin is one of this year's chosen and his trip to Heart City quickly turns from honor to horror as he discovers there's more to the training than they tell people.
Forced to navigate a series of tests aimed at finding the smartest, strongest, and most lethal amongst them, Dantin learns he's on a path he never thought he'd be. Now he must choose what type of man he wants to be. Can he survive the training? Can he help his friends? Will he lose himself in the process?
