The code of life has been rewritten. But the ancient past won't stay hidden in the shadows.
Five years have passed since the birth of Lucy, the first Homo antecessor to walk the Earth in 800,000 years. Now living in the sun-drenched Balearic Islands, Isabel and Azahara Vega struggle to provide the girl with a normal childhood. But Lucy is anything but normal. At only five years old, she possesses the body and the raw instincts of a ten-year-old, and her primitive nature is becoming harder to conceal.
As Lucy's genetic legacy manifests with unstoppable force, the shadows of her origin resurface. The powerful entities that created her haven't forgotten their "miracle," and the Mediterranean paradise is about to become a battleground for the future of the human race.
In this pulse-pounding second installment, the mystery of the Gran Dolina deepens. Evolution doesn't stop-and it doesn't forgive.
