They say that Faith Seekers don’t have souls – that they are genetically engineered not to have one. But for some time now, Sunetra had felt something growing deep inside her. Faith Seekers are like tanks made from bone and flesh – they are incredibly strong, powerful, and kill with ruthless efficiency. But inside, they are empty. Hollow. As they should be. There, inside was room only for the controller. And the controller was Mother. But Sunetra was worried that the thing growing inside her would leave no room for Mother. That was when she and her partner Mandrake both realised that this thing inside her must be kept secret. Secret from every other Faith Seeker – and most importantly, secret even from Mother herself.
Rogue officers Sunetra and Mandrake fight their way across a war-torn world in their search for The Idyll – a perfect world of freedom and happiness – but does it exist or is it a fantasy like the heaven of long ago?
