Welcome to the world as we know it, but with one great distinction. It is a world where any faith is strictly forbidden... A fantastically compelling novel, which raises many questions and guarantees to stay with every reader long after the final page is turned.
It is the year 274 AD (After Darwin), in a world that has completely rejected religion and a regime rules which forbids faith of any kind. Instead, it is Darwin who is The Saviour, and only in science is everyone allowed to believe. Raul and his sister Arym are cared for by the state, having never known their mother. It is a strict but simple life, until Raul begins to have doubts about the regime and rebels against the unwavering and unquestioning beliefs of those around him. Will Raul allow himself to be 'cured' of his doubts and become an unthinking believer like his sister, or is there another way to survive?
