"Defiance can be deadly. Almost as deadly as obedience.

Maximillian has defected. The god-king Nero has bled. And now, the High Vassal has stolen an AirGuard and sought shelter among Earth's last surviving military stronghold: The United Kingdom. But in an unthinkable twist, Colonel Thomas Drexler's son, Sage, has also switched sides, joining up with the youth organization Friends of Nero. What the Colonel doesn't know is that Sage desires to infiltrate Nero's inner circle and kill him, bringing vengeance and justice for all the Christians who have paid the ultimate price. Confident he is carrying out the will of God, Sage has placed himself on a dangerous quest in drawing nearer to the Emperor.
Unbeknownst to any of them, however, Sage has company. He will need it...because The Test is coming.
Will Christian brothers and sisters be able to accept Maximillian into their midst? Will he prove an asset to the Defiance...or a liability? As for Colonel Drexler: will he be able to successfully and publicly unmask Nero's lies and prove to the world, once and for all, who the Emperor really is? And as for Sage, he is in great danger. Will he emerge from the Friends of Nero training camp scarred for life, or will he succeed in killing the totalitarian ruler hellbent on exterminating Christians?
Indeed, in a world of mandated obedience, defiance can be deadly.

When Constantine Jedidiah Goodfellow shot up through the senate, people were all-too surprised and delighted to see someone in the prime of life wanting to heal wounds, bring people together, and bring peace, so they elected him President. His aim, however, was to bring the exact opposite.
The year is 2113, and Christianity is under siege. A massive virus has torn across the planet and killed off half of the world’s population and its leaders. Goodfellow, having changed his name to “Nero” in honor of the Roman emperor, has declared himself de facto leader over the remainder of mankind, and commenced the eradication of Christianity.
In a small community outside Chicago, Illinois, 18-year-old Sage Maddox is endowed with wisdom and street smarts well beyond his years. Though his entire family has been killed off by “Guardians” – deceptively-named and ruthless killing machines dispatched by Nero – he is determined to do his part to bring much-needed justice and restore safety to Christians throughout the world. However, a chilling dystopian antichrist figure is out there, and he is determined to take out Sage and all of his fellow believers in his own sadistic version of the tribulation.
Simultaneously, the worlds of both Colonel Thomas Drexler of The Defiance, and Nero's most High Vassal Maximillian are on a collision course in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.
The only question is: who is the cat, and who is the mouse?
