Abhuman: Revelation: The Verdant Dream - Part 1 (The Covenant)

The Covenant is an insidious theocracy where genetic mutation carries a death sentence. Conform or die. It seems to be a perfect, harmonious society-but is it? When sixteen-year-old Cheska Bellamy's mutation is exposed, she's forced to flee her starship to the partly-terraformed planet below. As she makes her way across a devastated landscape, she discovers that there had been a race of sentient creatures with a flourishing civilization-all that remain are the battered ruins, and a handful of Indigens who moved underground after Cheska's people began terraforming their planet. When she connects with the human resistance on the planet, she learns that her people on the starship have been secretly enslaved by an alien race; the most terrifying part (for her) is that she might be the key to her people's freedom. What if she doesn't want to be that key? Doesn't she get to decide her own future? Her people talk of self-determination, but Cheska learns one thing for sure: free will may be an illusion, but evil is very real.
