For four hundred years, Cambria thrived without weapons or locked doors. Technology was abandoned long ago in exchange for something more valuable: happiness.
Tom Peters never questions the peace around him until Ada disappears. Her kidnapping shatters the impossible. Cambria’s ancient barrier has been breached, and she is imprisoned in a dictatorship built on violence and fear.
An ageless guardian realises that the threat runs far deeper, and Tom must fight back against a movement threatening everything Cambria stands for. The utopian experiment is under attack, and a peaceful people must face a question they have long avoided:
What are they willing to sacrifice to protect the society they have built?
