Life isn't fair.

Jiden's parents barely scrape out a living on the dry, dusty world of Century.

Jiden wants more for herself and she is ready to step into a bright future, one which may lead her far from the frontier world of her birth.

She's just got one obstacle: five months of military school. She'll be away from her friends, subjected to long hours and a crushing work load. Yet as the challenges mount, she finds that there may be more to life besides comfort and security... things like duty and service.
