In New World, people from all places and times awake to find themselves removed from the lives they knew, and thrust into a brutal struggle for survival. Behind the walls of Polis, one of the only sanctuaries from the savage wilds, Kanan runs his little curio shop. When his formerly younger brother turned underground warlord comes to call in a favor, Kanan is forced to step into the ring of his brother's club, where everyone's true self is revealed. Casey's life hasn't been the same since waking up in New World. Less so since arriving in Polis. Working to near exhaustion as a nurse under her doctor husband, all Casey has been craving is some time off. Dragged to the city's hottest club for a night of fun by her loud-mouthed sister-in-law, Casey meets a man named Kanan as he waits for his turn in the ring.
