2059. Several major world cities are under the control
of a security force called Scion. Paige Mahoney works in the criminal
underworld of Scion London. Paige is a dreamwalker, a
rare kind of clairvoyant, and in this world, she commits treason
simply by breathing.But when Paige is captured and arrested, she encounters a power more sinister even than Scion. The voyant prison is a separate city – Oxford, erased from the map two centuries ago, and now controlled by a powerful, otherworldly race. These creatures, the Rephaim, value the voyants highly – as soldiers in their army.
Paige is assigned to a Rephaite keeper, Warden, who will be in charge of her care and training. He is her master. Her natural enemy. But if she wants to regain her freedom, Paige will have to learn something of his mind, and his own mysterious motives.
