This is an interesting book that reminded me a post-apocalyptic / dystopian type genre.  The story focuses on three people: Jonas, Emanuelle, and Zachary and is set in the city of Ametsapolis, which is tightly controlled by the Order and the government.  Jonas comes from outside the city, the wilderness, and is discovered when he kills a bunch of guards who are abusing some prisoners.  Soon it is discovered that he has special abilities and is trained in the Zorastran Order.  Emanuelle is a genetic scientists who decides that it is time for her society to move away from cybernetic implants to control the populace and look at gene sequencing.  Zachary is part of the Zonastran order, but sides with the resistance.I love how the story focuses on the three characters and slowly moves to the climax where they unite for a common goal  The writing does flow well, though at times I felt it had too much narrative.  Now this is just a personal preference, as I tend to prefer books with less narrative and more dialogue.  Other than that, I found it to be an intriguing story.  If you like futuristic scenarios and dystopian like fare, you'll like this book.
