Orphaned, she was raised by machines, with her cat, Divine Endurance, for company. <br><br>When an earthquake destroys her isolated shelter, Cho leaves to find her long lost brother, cat in tow. She finds herself in a land torn apart by warring gangs, clans and princes, revolutionaries and outcasts, all under the thumb of the distance Rulers, reduced to petty in-fighting to try and gain any power at all. <br><br>Divine Endurance seeks out the Rulers; Cho instead finds Derveet, a rebel leader. She finds love. <br><br>Can there be a future for them in this brutal world? What does Cho really know about humanity after being separated from it all her life? What does she even know about herself?</p>
