Imagine a planet where inhabitants can design their newborns, selecting traits like hair and eye color. Here, the latest cosmetic procedures have transformed a multi-ethnic population into one uniform appearance, erasing skin pigment as a trend. Many have undergone experimental treatments for survival or to access the nuclear-powered transcontinental tram system. For years, peace reigned until a shocking event unveiled secrets that led to "The Dark Days." The narrative follows a child born with a mark that sets her apart as a person of color in a world devoid of diversity. As she grows up in her village, she faces the law that mandates her departure due to her uniqueness. Brydus embarks on a perilous journey into a fractured world to discover her destiny. Along the way, she meets various characters and experiences that shape her identity. Brydus emerges as a fierce, gun-toting, fist-throwing, horse-riding woman in a society that has not seen anyone like her for years, except in faded history books. Her story is a powerful exploration of individuality and resilience in a conformist world.

The world was recovering from the last devastating global war. Demi and Audrey Quintanilla's identical twins have grown into beautiful women, each looking to build her own identity. Tressa was confused with regard to her relationship with her fiancé, who seemed to have too many secrets. When she graduated from college, their constant argument pushed her to join the agency, Bureau Of National Security - Eastern Branch, and became a secret agent. After her last mission, the agency was notified that Tressa's identity had been compromised. She was sent to a brothel for a few days to keep her whereabouts unknown. The owner of the brothel left his brother in charge. However, there was a mix-up, and Tressa was sold to a powerful overlord-Cruz Montenegro; they fell in love. Events suddenly took an unpleasant turn. She was kidnapped by Prince Diya-al-Din and was forced to fight for her freedom from the King, who wanted her for himself. In the meantime, Cruz went after her like a true lover, endangering his life in the process. With a promise to honor, "I would go to the moon and back for you," Cruz made a journey across the globe with Tressa's sister, Yadira, and eventually got his love.
