Science can rebuild the world, but only hope can save it.
Centuries after a devastating war shattered Earth's ecology, humanity clings to survival under the doctrine of "The Balance" a belief that nature must recover without human interference. But Gwendolyn Robbins, Director of Genetics at the Wildlife Foundation, sees a dying world that cannot heal on its own. Defying the Council's orders, she dares to recreate the creatures of legend, pegasi and unicorns, from the genetic remnants of the Ancestors.
As politics, fear, and faith collide, Gwendolyn's work may hold the key to restoring life, or doom what remains of it. When myth and science intertwine, hope itself becomes the most dangerous creation of all.
In a world where the line between legend and reality blurs, one woman must decide whether to obey a dying law or help humanity believe in magic again.
