The world is different now...A thousand years into the future, the human race is divided and united like never before. They are not defined by race, culture, or even politics, but by their faith.Humans who choose the righteous path follow the teachings of Constantine. But the ones embracing the darkness are ruled by Mabus. They differ at the genetic level, and both groups are incapable of deciding their destiny. Neither party can suffer the existence of the other. Only Christian and a handful of Maji still enjoy the gift of free will.Christian finds himself all but alone in this dystopian wasteland. Cast out by his pious people, including his parents, while still a boy, Christian is forced to wander the wasteland. By his own cunning and good fortune, he may survive. Though his memory has failed him, he finds some very old friends and a few new ones to help guide him.Rafeo, the immortal, has found him again. He has searched tirelessly for Christian over the millennia, following the stars and the cryptic clues from The Book of Knowledge. Perhaps this time, Rafeo set right what was wronged so long ago. The only thing to stop him is the hordes of Savages unleashed by Mabus, who has no interest in returning the power he has stolen.
