Pacem was never born, he was built. Forged by humans and an alien race called the Seily, in the shadow of war, he is the android whispered of in prophecy: the Nemera de Vol, destined to bring light between two worlds. But prophecy cannot prepare you for choice. Or for pain. As Pacem learns what it means to feel, to be human, and something more, he discovers that the war is not only fought between species.
