Blurb: It is the year 2441. A deadly virus has swept over the planet, short-circuiting cybernetic implants, killing billions. In the aftermath, the newly formed state of Eden is led by the one newborn that survived that dreadful day, Uriel Noah of the House of Zion—the Guiding Light. Unbeknownst to all, Uriel lives in a gilded cage, deprived of basic affection, used as a pawn, craving freedom and love.
Cyborg Raze Hartman is the leader of the resistance. His kind—cyborgs with a high cybernetic coefficient—were hit hardest by the virus, the few survivors crippled and enslaved by the purist system. Struggling to keep his father alive, Raze resorts to investigating the Guiding Light, the symbol of cyborg oppression. What he finds changes his life, and Uriel’s.
After sneaking into a purist ceremony, Raze sees past Uriel’s facade of strength and aloofness. He sees the lonely young man behind the mask of the Guiding Light. The instantaneous attraction between them is literally electric. But a chasm separates them, as wide as the difference between flesh and metal, and the secrets of Uriel’s past may be the undoing of them all.

Reviewer: Shorty
Review: Raze survived the virus that wiped out most machine people. Now he intends to get the guiding light, Uriel, to help his father. Uriel has never been outside the walls of his city. His mother won’t let him do anything. In my opinion, it was almost like he was a prisoner instead of her son. I didn’t care for her, his father or the council.
Interesting story of how one man can heal people and one man who is 80 percent cyborg needing his help. Dangerous missions and adventure all throughout.
The details of the story were amazing. However, I didn’t understand completely how the virus was started in the first place. Well-written story that keeps the reader intrigued.
Good read.
