A quiet alien invasion. An even quieter war against it. A young hero caught in the middle of it all.

A war-ravaged Earth was rescued by the Ancient Ones. In this peaceful new world, where dreaming is prohibited and children who suffer from dysphoria are rehabilitated at the Flush, they guide what’s left of humanity from within Capital City.

Hanu, a sixteen-year-old who's been living at the Flush for the last seven years has been quietly scraping by - he pretends to not have questions, or see strange things, or to be in any way disturbed. That way he could go back home to his mother and sister. So when he dreams about a strange group of beings that give him a mission - to find a Genesis Key - he tries to ignore it.

But when he’s forced to join a group of patients who were summoned by the Ancient Ones, Hanu and his new friends stumble into a quiet war. And now he’s starting to realize the Genesis Key will somehow help end it.

In the first installment of The Genesis Key Trilogy, the reluctant hero must choose between safety and friendship, and ultimately, survival and destiny.
