The world has moved on: it's the twenty-second century, and the former United States has fragmented. Noam, growing up in Carolinia (rich and Northern) is the son of undocumented immigrants from Atlantia (poor and Southern) and has been fighting for refugee rights since he was old enough to understand that Carolinia didn't welcome him or his family. Now he's woken up in a hospital bed, survivor of the magical attack that killed his father -- and made Noam, aged sixteen, a technopath.
