Centuries after a catastrophic world war nearly decimated the human population, a city arose from the ashes, ruled by an elusive and technologically advanced group called the Illum. At twenty-seven, Emeline lives in limbo, wasting away her days in a job sorting ancient human art for destruction and waiting to be selected as a Mate for a procreation contract. Where others look forward to being chosen, Emeline has never felt like she fit into a society where a person’s worth is determined by constantly monitored genes, health, and the ability to procreate.

Born to an Elite family, from birth Emeline has been marked as different, both for her heterochromia - her differently coloured eyes - and by a society that judges all its citizens on their ability to conform. Emeline only has one role open to her - to become a mother. Offered a pro-creation contract with Collin, a member of the Illum, the governing body of the Elite, Emeline's finds herself increasingly torn between her growing complicated feeling for her proposed mate and another man who lives on the margins of their society who challenges her ideals.
