It is the year 2158, and Hegemony has fallen.

But the Order, the one-world religion, remains . . . securely ensconced as the unseen power behind all human government.

Should any desire for truth be rekindled in the hearts of men, the Order stands ready to stamp it out . . .

Father Curtis, priest of the Order of the Eternal, seeks solace in his secluded parish, sheltered from the oppressive regime.

But then, unjustly branded a heretic, he must flee for his life—all while confronting the stark realization the world he once trusted is a labyrinth of deception, orchestrated by the Order's tyrannical forces, and that his understanding of the world is built upon a foundation of lies.

Now, his fate and the fate of humanity hang in the balance as he and his former parishioners battle to find the truth about themselves, the Order, and Creation . . . in a world where seeking truth is a capital offense.
