In between the Earth and the sun floats the world of Enigma.

It is a world that demands equal contributions from each of its inhabitants in order to support its mantra of Longevity, Ingenuity, Fertility, and Equality - the pillars of LIFE.
This is the world in which Genesis Velorum exists. She and her family are privileged due to superior genes, Her best friend, Warble, however, has been labeled a UFB: unfit for breeding.They are inseparable until their paths split when Genesis turns seventeen and faces a mandatory decision about how she will contribute to Enigma. Will she choose what her mother considers the safe option, or will she risk embarking on a space mission, leaving behind the only world she has known? Although her options are already limited, she quickly learns there are higher forces at play that may make the choice for her...

Genesis Velorum survived her mission into outer space and even managed to rescue one of her closest friends. But she worries she may have irrevocably damaged the friendship, and she doesn’t know what to do with her newfound knowledge. Everything she has based her world on is a lie, and she doesn’t know if she’s happy with learning the truth.
Captain Nicholas Swift has more in store for her. After christening her a GURU, he sends her and the other GURUs from Enigma on a very special mission. The mission’s length is uncertain, and Genesis worries they might never return.
But their special mission is not what it seems, and Genesis and the other GURUs soon discover Captain Swift has a secret mission that will affect all humankind…
