What if you wake up on the morning of your fifteenth birthday to discover a system screen floating over your head? It means you are a Mystic, one of the hundred people born each year who have access to the Celestial system and powers of the universe. What if when you go to get registered as a Mystic at their Academy you discover that all the slots are taken? There are already a hundred mystics in the system. You are a strange anomaly that has never happened in a billion years. Well, you must be none other than Xavier Xerxes. The weird teenager who was bullied for his strange white skin, long snowy hair and pink eyes is now also a Mystic who shouldn't exist. It couldn't have gotten any worse for him.

He has the opportunity to grow from a human to an Immortal, saving the world along the way. Cool, right? But there's one little problem. Xavier doesn't do anything that could pass off as stressful. No, he prefers to read books in the library. He loves to write stories and poems. He cries through romantic movies. He has never walked farther than a meter in his life. No sporting activity whatsoever. He hates violence. Now they expect him to carry a sword. He is supposed to turn his body into a weapon of destruction, and his mind into a fortress of power. What the hell? How is he expected to survive a day at Celestial Academy when he has been home schooled since he was a child? How is he supposed to kill a bloodthirsty troll when he is scared of spiders? Exercise drills, push ups, war games...meditating? Never before in his life! Right. We all have to wait and see. Hopefully he'll find a way not to die on the first day.

In the world beyond the fortified walls of Edenhold, men roam wild—violent, unchecked, and dangerous. But inside the walls, a new society has risen. Built by women, for women, Edenhold is a sanctuary, a utopia where peace reigns and control over the future is absolute. Men are bred only for their most docile traits, raised with careful hands, and kept under constant surveillance. They exist to serve a single purpose: to breed out the violence that has plagued humanity for generations. Thalia, one of Edenhold’s most devoted caretakers, has spent her life nurturing boys like Kai, a promising young man with a gentle father and a powerful mother who died in service to the fortress. But as Kai nears the age where he must prove himself fit to stay within Edenhold, his behavior becomes erratic, his anger barely contained. With his future—and the future of Edenhold’s breeding program—hanging in the balance, Thalia must confront the terrifying possibility that no matter how carefully they control it, violence may be impossible to eliminate. As the foundations of Edenhold begin to crack, Thalia’s faith in the system she once trusted starts to falter. What if the violence they fear isn’t something that can be bred out? And how far are they willing to go to maintain the peace they have fought so hard to build?
