The first in the Stand in the Sun trilogy
The world we know is gone.
Mankind's numbers have dwindled.
The last human civilisation has been carved in two.
Inequality thrives as the people of Dian subjugate and control the 'dregs' of Carcer.

While Mia Mitexi questions Dian's oppressive rules, she knows there is little one person can do. A chance meeting with Sol Victus, a lowly dreg from Carcer, will force them both to face truths and consequences neither of them could have expected.

These things cannot long be hidden and their world will change forever.

There are no puppy-dog eyes and hair-brained decisions in the name of love, here. No brooding boy and weak-at-the-knees girl sterotypes. There are lies, truths, hidden secrets and dangerous consequences.

Not everyone is cast in black or white. Exclusion is set in a time of greys.
