description: The Ark was built to save the lives of the many but rapidly became a refuge for the elite the entrance closed without warning.Years after the Ark was cut off from the world--a world much like our own but in which slavery has never existed--a chance of survival within the Ark's confines is granted to a select few who can prove their worth. Among their number is Markriss Denny whose path to future excellence is marred only by a closely guarded secret: without warning his spirit leaves his body allowing him to see and experience a world far beyond his physical limitations.Once inside the Ark Denny learns of another with the same power whose existence could spell catastrophe for humanity. He is forced into a desperate race to understand his abilities and in doing so uncovers the truth about the Ark himself and the people he thought he once knew.
