A young woman suddenly blessed with godlike intelligence uses her gift to escape a life of servitude. She returns to conquer the nation that once enslaved her, and taking the name Shiva she sets to free the world from ignorance and oppression through conquest. To do so, she must recruit others with power. The keys to her victory are a girl who dreams of the future, and a young man who can stop time. By controlling both, Shiva can make her vision of a unified world a reality, but at what cost?
