Dominique's world consists of only a few small rooms and a window overlooking the secluded military base on which he is held as a prisoner of war. The perpetual war directed by the country he used to serve. Their goal in holding him *captive* is to gain the lost alchemical wisdom of science and the soul that Dom possesses to use not only against their enemies, but their people as well. For years Dominique has lead his captors in intellectual circles, managing to keep the most terrible of his secrets to himself, that is until the arrival of a fellow prisoner, Cristofori. This peculiar young man turns all Dom's meticulously calculated plans on their head as Dom, adapting to this new variable and convinced that Crist is not what he appears, tries desperately to figure out the young man's agenda. Dom's paranoia runs higher than normal when his mysterious new roommate offers him a way out. Dominique longs for freedom more than anything but when trust is scarce and Dom fears even his own shadow, can he afford to take this chance to run? Can the world afford for him not to?
