The optimism and vigor of youth clash with the disillusionment of experience in this Science Fiction/Fantasy novel following a pair of friends as they navigate their world and advocate for better lives for the people they love. On the Wales/Norway-inspired island of Bwrdd Llosgydd the landscape and people alike are dark and harsh.
  Corruption and bias have made their way into the Institute of Justice, and the Volitionists of Bwrdd find themselves outcast from the rest of society. Tensions are high, and even as they strive to prove themselves upstanding members of society, others commit atrocities in their name. The Volitionists’ chance for redress is all but lost, and yet a few bright stars still shine. They can only hope to make an impact before their own lights go out.
