SHOPPING DISTRICT

In the coastal city of Maidenhead, the hierarchy shapes every transaction, wills are bought and sold for coin, wagered in gladiatorial combat, lost in drunken heat, or given as the ultimate gesture of love, or betrayal. The rich and powerful grow godlike atop pyramids of ceded wills, while the poor sell themselves into contracts or are claimed at the market. Cassia Longwood, eighteen, beautiful and naive, has just reached primacy. She lives in a modest family villa with her womb mother Lara, and her senator sire mother Demetria. Enrolled at the Maidenhead Academy to study politics, philosophy, and combat, Cassia fears one thing above all, being turned into a beta. In Futoria, will is not merely a metaphor. It is a magical, transferable essence used to empower oneself, and once given away, it cannot be easily reclaimed. As Cassia steps into the world, she must decide, is she willing to claim the wills of others and become a powerful alpha? Or, will she end up ceding her own will to another, transforming her into just another submissive beta instead?
