Corporations govern entire prefectures, each ruled by a CEO wielding the authority of a warlord.Mamoru's supernatural ability to embody machines and change software at a thought makes him a coveted weapon in an endless cyberspace war. Ever with the sense he does not belong, he serves without question until an outsider wrests him from his master's grip, forcing him to flee Japan.Now a ronin, his sense of honor compels him to exact revenge upon the person responsible for his disgrace. His search reunites him with his past and brings acceptance that he is one of a handful of rare, potent psionics who call themselves The Awakened.Caught between two factions vying to control him, Mamoru realizes that family is all he truly wanted, but his epiphany may have come too late.
