Set in an alternate world where slavery and colonialism never happened, Newland's staggering novel is both a timely exploration of social inequality and a story about love, loyalty, and the search for the truth. The Ark was built to save the lives of the many, but rapidly became a refuge for the elite, the entrance closed without warning. Markriss Denny’s path to future excellence is marred only by a closely guarded secret: without warning, his spirit leaves his body, allowing him to see and experience a world far beyond his physical limitations.
