Fifteen-year-old Kaehl lives in the massive, decaying sanctuary city called Welltower. His father is abusive, his mother weak and his sister terribly fragile. There are gangs in the halls. He has been cut off from his friends and fears for his life. He is starving. He is afraid. He wants out. But he cannot let go.

Fighting poverty, ignorance, and the power-hungry elite, Kaehl travels the heights and depths of this battleground city to save his family from the corrosive evil of the looking-glass world called Welltower.

Centuries ago, The Founders built a fortified city and named it Welltower. Their purpose was to save mankind from a global inferno of poisonous gases and mutated beasts. The sanctuary still stands over the burning landscape like a colossus: unbreakable, impenetrable, and unyielding.

But all is not as it seems. After hundreds of years the sanctuary has become a prison, its residents becoming beasts of a different kind: humans in the last stages of social decay.

Kaehl will travel the heights and depths of what has now become a battleground, struggling to save his teenaged sister from a society edging toward destruction. Along the way he will discover truths about himself and his society as he uncovers the terrible secrets of the looking-glass world called Welltower.

Twenty one years have passed since death of Kaehl, the young hero of Welltower. The nearby city-nations, once deadly rivals, now live in an era of peace, where light-powered healing globes bring health and long life without cost.

Too much ease, however, has addicted many to the power of the globes. When Kaehl’s sister discovers that she can control light with her mind, rival powers destroy each others’ production centers in a frenzy to steal her secrets and dominate international markets. Forced to flee, the young mother’s extraordinary abilities put her young family in the crosshairs of international corporate greed and political intrigue.

The mother and her husband battle for the lives of their children, heirs of the power of light, pitting their skills and gifts against the combined might of three nations.
