Opis

The world slowly became unlivable. Mankind retreated indoors into massive buildings called Arcologies. These Corporate owned and run buildings became home to the entire human race. As the world slowly burnt itself up outside, the controlled environments allowed people to live their entire lives under the protection of the mighty constructs. But the problems people faced before going in still persisted. The rich lived at the top of the Arcology and had much while the masses lived in the lower levels, barely surviving. This went on for hundreds of years and the outside world was forgotten. Unrest became commonplace and one particular attack breached the outer wall of the Arcology. The outside world, hostile and dangerous, was suddenly rediscovered. There was now an escape from the corporate tyranny. Hunters began providing food from the outside world. The Corporation felt the shift in their profit margins and developed tiny robots to act as a spy network. But the tiny robots linked and combined to become sentient. A new war began with humanity on the brink of destruction. The refugees fleeing the mechanical menace need a leader, a First Citizen. Violet is a huntress. Her skills at survival and her caring heart will be key in making a new life in the hostile world outside. She is strong, but is she strong enough to save the last remnants of humanity, or are we all doomed to extinction?
