The world of New Dawn was a pleasure planet for some, but for Terril, it was a terrifying prison, a world where Primes - the empaths who acted as top agents for the interstellar Amalgamation government known as Central - had been gathered together for the specific purpose of creating the next generation of their own uniquely talented kind. With the primes chemically conditioned to obey, Terril alone questioned this forced mating system, and dreamed of escaping New Dawn. And while she sought a means to free herself, other forces were focusing their attention on this secret, government-controlled enclave. For Terril and the other Primes on New Dawn could prove the most powerful weapon the universe had ever known - for peace under the right leadership or conquest under the wrong masters!
