For a thousand years, humanity has lived in artificial peace, its passions dulled by mandatory "vitamins." When medical student John Turner's treatment fails, he and his wife Angela flee with a rogue scientist who frees them from the drugs—unleashing love, anger, and a revolution none of them can control. As society descends into chaos, John holds the one thing that could "cure" human nature forever. A philosophical dystopian thriller about agency, evil, and what it truly means to be free.

  • A society that cures war, crime, and passion by drugging away human nature itself—until the drugs stop working.
  • A dystopia built on a genuinely LDS idea: there can be no real happiness without the freedom to choose evil.
  • Ends with 10 discussion questions—built for book clubs and classroom debate.
  • A tragic love story at the center of a philosophical thriller: the first natural pregnancy in a thousand years.
“"Sarcasm. Paranoia. Distrust of those in authority," John shot back. "Classic symptoms of insanity."”

Perfect for a thoughtful reader who enjoys idea-driven dystopias like Brave New World or The Giver and wants to wrestle with questions of free will, evil, and utopia—especially readers drawn to the doctrine of agency and 'opposition in all things.'.
