In a world named Thear, emotions are looked down on. The government gives shots to tear emotions away on your sixteenth birthday, and you choose almost nothing in your life. They pick your job, your spouse, your home, but only the creatures can choose whether or not to follow their destiny.
At the first sound of a prophecy they know not to follow it, but they choose to break their rules. These new queens and their two accomplices do what is necessary to keep the second of two people mentioned in a prophecy from being assassinated. Going against the rules of their land they try to use rational minds void of emotion or overwhelmed with emotion, to save him. But it's hard to save anything when societies clash.
