When seventeen-year-old Eriah Collingwood gets recruited into the Melange – the governing division of America – not only does he free himself from the limitations of the camps, but he also sets out to save his father’s life with a dangerous quest to retrieve the elixir of life. During the challenging integration process, Eriah struggles to work alongside his fellow recruits, discovering an expanding conflict when he finds himself involved in an overwhelming case that might solve the mystery behind the loss of his childhood memories. As the integration advances, he experiences the ultimate test: controlling the sinister device that he was implanted with at ten years old - it threatens to dismantle his entire plan. Some of the consequences of the decisions that follow might be disastrous enough to unfold his apparently imperfect life.

Against the power of the Division, Eriah has followed the riddles left behind by the criminals and discovered he is the reason they left them in the first place. His long lost sister is alive, and his parents lead an uprising against the government. He isn’t sure how to feel. His friend has been shot dead protecting him and he is worried and frenzied with fear at what might lie ahead. To fuel his anxiety even more, Eriah will have to endure a physically demanding training to prove that he is the leader everyone expects him to be. But there is one problem – that responsibility has proven too demanding and his own sanity is at stake. To avoid being coined as failure, he will have to face his reality and fight back. But his indecision to move forward with the war, and his desire to do what is right, might shock everyone around him.
