Synopsis: The setting of the story is in an alternate world similar to 1940s Europe. There are steam locomotives and machine guns, but no computers or internet. No one is able to leave their city of birth, but this is considered “normal.” No one questions this; it’s just the way of life. The people are quietly micro-managed by government councils who order every part of their lives: who they "mate" with, where they work, and where they live. It is the proverbial "peaceful slavery," as opposed to "dangerous freedom."
A young honor student named Sire Magnis becomes disillusioned with the ordered society he's grown up in when he encounters a homeless middle-aged woman named Maria who was placed into the local prostitution business when she was a young teenager, due to her barrenness. Now that she's older and considered "less attractive," she's been tossed out onto the streets, and the government is taking their sweet time helping her.
Sire stumbles upon a way outside of the city, seemingly by Chance. There he begins to learn the truth about the world, and the existence of a hidden magical power called "Arkana." After returning to the city, he meets a couple who have also been discovering the lies in their hometown. He works closely with them and is led on a path to save the young woman he loves from suffering the same fate as Maria.
