    Summary

    Golds. Men who are no closer to humans than they are to gods. Their strength unmatched, their intelligence unrivaled. Bred to be leaders, to be soldiers, to be conquerors. They rule over the Solar System with an iron fist, forcing low colors to bow their heads in silence. In submission.

    John au Tavish, son of Dominik au Tavish, is a Gold. He is yet a child, eighteen years of age, preparing for the journey his father has spun tales of since the moment John was old enough to listen. Tales of the Institute. Where young Golds go to measure their worth, train their mind, and hone their abilities- to see if they are worthy to become a Peerless Scarred. If there is one thing John will accomplish, it is winning the Institute and graduating as a Peerless Scarred, no matter what, or who, stands in his way.

    There's only one problem: The one they call 'The Ghost'.
