The city of Capston should have been safe under the protective dome of New Inland. Yet, random explosions have the city on edge. Mayor Phil Fox couldn't keep Capston safe. But Phil's failure is new mayor Steven Reekan's opportunity. If he can bring the terrorists to justice, he'll prove to the other New Inland mayors that this son of a metalworker belongs in the High Council. Steven's success can't come fast enough for Robbie Sheppard and the Sheppard Family Inn. Raising two younger brothers while struggling to keep his late parents' business alive- it's almost too much. Until the terror arrives at his door. Outside, Lieutenant Paolo Desantos has a lot to prove to the Free City of Motherland, and even more to his father, the fanatical Colonel of the armed forces. Paolo will fulfill his destiny, no matter the cost. Exiles takes place in a world of class struggles, crime syndicates, rogue states, and folk tales. Sometimes the real world can be deceiving.
