Xyn

In Xyn, you are what The Council makes of you. Xyn is home to the Xynites, a society that does its best to please The Council. The Council controls each citizen’s Board of Choice, a cognitive response device that determines when and how Xynites make decisions, from the mundane to the crucial.   Xyn’s population consists of two main groups, Xynites formed on Xyn and those who arrived on Xyn from planets throughout the Ursa Ro star system. The Council, a governmental body, was created to maintain the balance of society. Together, co-founders Edyn Maternys and Sylas Huxley invented the Board of Choice. This cognitive response device determines when and how Xynites make decisions, from the mundane to the crucial.   As remnants of Earth begin to find their way into Xynite society, peace begins to break down. Cayn Armistyce, a Human-born Xynite elite and right-hand person for The Council, is tasked with controlling the Board of Choice for Indygo Symon Dawkyns Vega, a fiery soul with a disdain for authority.   Life begins to intertwine for Cayn, Indygo, and their companions. The future of Xyn is theirs for the taking, but the past and present want a cut-in, too.  

Stories of Xyn, Book 1: Forgery of the Heart

Seventeen year old Cayn Armistyce is a headstrong teenager living in Hollow Rock, Ohio, where the sky's the limit. Together with their twin brother, Clayde, and their partner, Violyt, Cayn enjoys all of the best parts about being seventeen in 2013 - indie music, mediocre suburban parks, and science-fiction television shows. Worlds away is Indygo Vega, a fierce teenager living in Castynyne, an elite city on Xyn. The year is 2113, and Indygo is attending her Aggrandizement Ceremony where she will be welcomed into Xynite society as an Ivory, a societal class for the pure and the loyal.   Time and circumstance bring Cayn and Indygo together. Certainly not intertwined by their own choosing, the two must find out how to coexist without raising the suspicion of The Council, an oppressive regime controlling Xyn and its citizens.   Separated from their families, Cayn and Indygo are determined to avenge their loved ones. In their quest to bring forth justice, Cayn and Indygo will learn what it means to distinguish choice and destiny.
