O knihe

One hundred years after World War II, the U.S. was on the verge of losing its third against Russia. However, due to a success of a military experiment, the war was won and gave rise to aviants-beings who possess power, called Houses, under the influence of atmospheric altitude and pressure.

Now almost seventy years into the future, where America is known as the New United States and the military is removed, aviants are trained in a government-based school, called Aerolympus to keep the world at bay depending on what potents they are selected. They are chosen either as a mason; the mechanics, the Abecedaries; the mentors, Safeguards; the enhanced professional flight crew, or an Airmen; the soldiers.

Eighteen year old Orian Phillips is one of those aviants. Graduating from high school, the next day he is to attend where he will undergo extreme tests and training in order to be selected. As he's known to have the most powerful House, called the Aeries-the being capable of controlling the weather-he already knows which potent he's expected to receive. It's becoming an Airman what he fears most. And there's not a successful way of maneuvering towards a result he wants, unless if it means death. What could be worse is the possibility of receiving the Airman title and be chosen to be a soldier shipped to Russia. Without much surprise Orian learns that he receives both and has given up all hope.

Now the test he must face is to train and prepare to become the soldier in need to watch over the world across sea. Though, during the journey he learns about secrets of the past and his grandfather, which is considered dangerous. Those secrets become mysteriously unlocked for him and lead him to learn about a rebellion. The Breakout.
