In the year 2236, True Love will fail. There are ancient tales that tell of true love between a Prince and a Princess - two mythic beings sharing one soul, inseparable even by death. What if two such beings, who felt the strongest love ever known, betrayed their destinies? What if they too, suffered the agony of heartbreak? What if they succumbed to the temptation of personal gain and denied their love? One such a couple emerges from the pages of fable into a post-apocalyptic world of nightmares. In the ultimate betrayal, these two - the embodiment of perfect love - will be changed. The magic that was between them was real - fate had preordained their love, but when love was destroyed, the Prince was transformed into a horrible beast. The Princess vanished, mysteriously, although whispers of her are still uttered among the fearful and lost. Fifteen years later, below the surface of the radiation-poisoned planet, a young boy of seventeen named Anil Parivartta leaves his underground village to seek out his destiny. This young, conflicted and unlikely hero, in his quest to avenge his father's murder, offers himself to the brotherhood of the Revolutionists - an infamous congregation of skilled assassins whose power goes unmatched in the western half of what once was America. Anil unwittingly becomes the emotional tool of an old Prince's insane quest for power and revenge, and now he must uncover a conspiracy and choose to either betray the Prince or join him as a servant to evil.Plunge into a realm returned after the peak of civilization to chaos, sorcery and mystery - where the nature of love is constantly questioned and the powers of ancient legends once again influence man. Discover a life that rebels against definitions and revels in absolute contradiction. And in 2251, one boy will rise up to fight for a revolution that will heal the world, or he will die trying.
