Terra-transformation of the planet Vaus is nearly complete. Yet, humans choose to live as gods in the space colonies, enslaving Vausians to do the grunt work below. But a fateful encounter between Alethia (human) and Zade (Vausian) sparks hope for Vausian freedom.
Rebels rise against the humans, but General Lander unleashes an army of bioengineered soldiers to obliterate the resistance. Only the legendary sword Divinity, constructed by a mysterious man known as the Architect, can lead the Vausians to victory if it is found in time. Alethia believes Zade is the one to wield it; but born a cripple, he does not share her confidence. Now, Zade must conquer his doubts and claim the sword. But General Lander will stop at nothing until the power of Divinity is in his hand.
Humans and Vausians. Peace or annihilation. The Architect's true intent and Divinity's real purpose. The fight for Vausian independence has just begun.
