Wold Newton is an ideal nation—or so it seems. Beneath its pristine appearance lies a dark underbelly of suffering and secrets, censored from all view by its government. The Writers of Aletheia, a society of such censored writers, comes under attack one night when one of its members is captured by the Wold Newton Secret Service. Now they must save their friend while working out their internal differences... as the clock ticks down before their friend dies at the hands of a mysterious arsonist.
