[Keepers of the Flame: Origins 01] • Aika

Aika Lareto's life comes apart at the seams during one fatal trip to London. Just as her fiancé's career as a photojournalist comes together, chaos and destruction ends all their dreams. Suddenly everything she thought she knew turns to smoke.

And there's a lot of smoke these days, as London is systematically destroyed in what is becoming known as the Second Blitz.

Then a mysterious old man reveals she's a Keeper of the Flame, a champion destined to fight for humanity in the coming apocalypse. Aika isn't interested; what she wants is to return home to Ireland to grieve a broken heart. When she can't get out of London, joining the city militia seems the next best thing.

It is there The Agent find her, and recruits her into Dreamtech--would be government conglomerate with a plan to save the city. The question is, are they saving it from war--or for themselves?
