All citizens of post-war Pillar are implanted with a LifeChip. Passions have been neutralized. Lives are controlled. But not Miracle's. Her prophetic dreams continue to speak to her, and they are telling her to find the Enchiridion of Emmanuel - the ancient book of power and wisdom that will revive and repair the heart of Pillar. Only Mira's dreams instead lead her right to Nash, a law-abiding Reformer bent on destroying the Enchiridion. Yet when he finds himself without a LifeChip and feels for the first time, his world spins out of control and Mira is in the middle of it. The unlikely pair plunges into battle - for love, for the Enchiridion, and for the truth...only the enemy is much bigger than they imagined.
