The Wrong Cure (The Helix Cycle)
In this city, being known is the same as being caught.
Mars Stackton carries a relic beneath her skin - a living thing that reads the world as problems to be solved, bodies to be broken, and love as the most dangerous liability of all. After escaping the Dead Sector, she and her companions are hunted not only by Helix, but by the systems Helix left behind: civic routes that reclassify injury as infrastructure, contact networks that turn relationships into leverage, and a public health machine that has learned to route people like freight.
Mouse is infected and running out of time. Ajax's wrist is broken in a way that will not be forgiven quickly. Mars is trying to keep them alive without becoming the thing inside her arm. But every clinic door, review board, custody record, and relief route points toward the same answer: the city does not want to heal them. It wants to own the cure.
The Wrong Cure is the second book in The Helix Cycle: a relentless, intimate cyberpunk thriller about care turned into control, survival under classification, and what a system does when it cannot understand what people are to each other.
