The order has instituted its own education curriculum, and emphasizes like-mindedness and lack of questioning as core values of the younger generation.

Amongst all of this is EVE BLACK, a unique young school girl who finds herself inadvertently caught in the midst of the rebellion against FEAR. When PROPHET shows EVE that there is so much more than blind worship of FATHER and of GOD, she soon becomes an integral part of the WILD ONES war…}
