Nineteen-year-old Kasside (pronounced "Cassidy") is a cadet at West Halnec Academy in the post-World War III year of 2122. The military-run academy is located on an island near California and houses Alchens (people born with supernatural abilities). The abilities of these second-class citizens are attributed to a new type of energy, discovered by using alchemy. Kasside and his friend Maron are placed in a dire situation when Maron’s body begins to rapidly deteriorate. As they plan their escape to look for a solution, the strict government military organization CROSS begins to strip their only remaining freedoms and keep a watchful eye over the Alchens. Kasside and his friends manage to escape the academy and tirelessly fight for survival in their search for answers and for salvation. In a world of cat and mouse, it’s easy to forget about the bird. |
