The essence of every construct resides in their core. A fist-sized stone, carefully saturated with khet, mounted in a walking shell - the vessel through which experience will shape them. Wipe a construct's core - strip all that away - and what's left?It's a quandary that now haunts Samuel's every step. Hundreds of years of life - the chronicle of his experience - taken from him. All that he once was, replaced by visions of two gruesome murders, the piercing silver eyes of a ruthless hunter, and premonitions of his own destruction. All of it punctuated by the one thing that no construct is supposed to be capable of: emotion.Relentlessly pursued and adrift in a world that sees constructs as little more than property, Samuel now faces the hardest challenge of all - knowing who to trust.
