ONE KEYSTROKE COST HER EVERYTHING. THE TRUTH MIGHT COST HER MORE.
For archivist Tessa Ashcroft, it began with a single act of defiance: copying a file she was ordered to delete. That one decision catapulted her from a life of quiet compliance into a desperate race for survival, hunted by the regime's most ruthless enforcers. The data she stole was more than just a secret; it was the blueprint for a genetic conspiracy that has enslaved her entire civilization.
Now, with nowhere left to run, Tessa must ally with the very people the system is designed to crush: a paranoid journalist whose life was destroyed for asking the right questions, an activist fighting a mysterious plague in the undercity, and her pragmatic brother who may be the only one who can find a weakness in the enemy's armor.
Together, they must turn the tables on a government that sees them not as citizens, but as a genetic stain to be cleansed. But as they fight back, they trigger an ancient protocol, awakening a far more powerful enemy from its millennia of silence. They thought they were fighting to expose a lie. Now, they are fighting to prevent the extinction of their own species.
