The code of life has been unlocked. But some secrets were meant to stay buried for 800,000 years.
Isabel Vega, a brilliant scientist, thought she was just studying the past at the famous Atapuerca archaeological site. She never expected the past to breathe again. Through a radical and secret genetic project, the first Homo antecessor in nearly a million years has been born: a baby girl named Lucy.
Lucy isn't like other children. She grows at an impossible rate, possessed of a primitive strength and instincts that defy modern science. As Isabel and her sister Azahara struggle to protect this "miracle" from the corporations that want to weaponize her DNA, they realize that Lucy isn't just a discovery-she is the beginning of a new era. Or the end of ours.
The evolution of humanity has just been restarted. And the hunt is on.
