She was built to serve. She chose to burn.
In 2066, clones are disposable assets with five-year lifespans. They are manufactured in the Genesis Spire, shipped to off-world mining colonies, and worked to death. They have no rights. No families. No future.
Mara 9-Delta-774 is one of them.
When corporate algorithms detect her "anomalous cognitive spikes," she is marked for liquidation. Her only escape: hijack a military freighter and ride it through Earth's orbital defense grid. She crashes into the flooded ruins of Old Baltimore, hunted by the Vanguard State's elite forces.
On the run, Mara discovers the horrifying truth about her origins. She was synthesized from the neural pattern of Elena Vance, a revolutionary leader executed for treason. And Elena Vance's memories are bleeding through-whispering secrets about the Genesis Spire, the eugenics facility where clones are manufactured.
Joining the underground resistance, Mara vows to destroy the Spire and free her people. But standing in her way is President Victoria Thorne, a natural-born elite who has spent forty years building the system that enslaves clones. Thorne is ruthless, brilliant, and determined to hunt down every clone in the resistance.
Mara has weeks to live. Her telomeres are burning out. But she's determined to make every second count.
This is a war for freedom. This is a war for the future.
This is 2066.
