Sent away from everything he knows, Curtis Williams, more often known as Unit 23, must fight not only his own preconceptions, but also those leveled against him if he hopes to free himself from the Black Tunic that defines his station in life. Sent into the snows, he finds himself face-to-face with his sworn enemy, and now, he must learn a new way of life, or succumb to the voice that screams for him to kill them all. Badly injured by a Reprimand, Curtis finds himself for the first time in his life, truly away from the control of Triada. What are the Human Voices? Why is it up to him? Who is Eve? What does it mean to be human?
