In a world ruled by "We" each person has a role, a direction, a mission assigned by their Instinct. No deviation. No freedom--Instinct is irrepressible and serves the Collective. But if young Goliath, a shattered Protector, saves lives, it's also because he dreams of becoming a Saint. And Claire, hiding behind her Instinct as a Confidante, bears a secret that could shake the entire system. When some students begin disappearing into silence, Claire and Goliath find themselves questioning everything. Determined to uncover the truth, they follow forbidden trails, escape a murderous Archangel, and discover that "We" is not at all what it seems. The Instinctive Bureaucracy is impenetrable, and the detractors of the Collective work in the shadows, but one thing connects them all: their certainties are about to be shattered.
