A century ago, an impoverished young man named Jagat was found guilty of assassinating the director of the great city of Peruma. His alleged crime sparked a bloody revolution, partitioning the city into High Town, a hi-tech metropolis for the wealthy run by the Council, and the Commune, an anarchist collective of workers. Jagat himself was sentenced to the highest form of punishment—a hundred years of cryostasis with the promise of revival should his innocence ever be proven, or else culminating in death if it is not. And as he slept through the decades, tensions between the Council and the Commune grew.
Just a week before Jagat is officially due to be executed, Nila, an ambitious law student, is asked to reopen his case. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime, one with the potential to not only save a man’s life but also influence the escalating conflict between the Council and the Commune. With Jagat’s time running out, Nila must reach back into the past to understand what truly happened a hundred years ago. But as she investigates the case, she clashes with shadowy forces who would do anything to let the truth die with Jagat. As her peers compete for accolades and class rankings, Nila’s case could determine the very future of Peruma.
