Synopsis: A beautifully imagined science fantasy set in a far future where many years earlier civilization was artificially frozen at late-medieval levels in order to save the world from dangerous technologies.

Simultaneously, all of the world's malcontents and madmen were sealed inside of an unimaginably vast, sentient prison named Incarceron, where a dedicated group of social engineers had intended to create utopia.

There's Claudia, the brilliant daughter of the cold-blooded warden of Incarceron who has been raised from birth to marry and eventually control Caspar, the simpleminded heir to the throne. And then there's Finn, a young man without a past and a prisoner in Incarceron, which has become a hideous dystopia ... an "abyss that swallows dreams."

When Claudia and Finn each gain possession of a high-tech 'key' to the prison, they discover each other, exchange messages and plot to escape their individual and collective fates inside and outside of Incarceron.
