One man will transcend death to seek vengeance. One woman will
transform herself to gain power. And no one will emerge unscathed.
Thorvald Spear has been brought back from the dead. Killed a century
earlier by Penny Royal, an unstable AI who turned rogue in the middle of
a human versus alien war, the resurrected Spear has one thing on his
mind: revenge.
Crime lord Isobel Satomi got more than she bargained for when she struck
a deal with Penny Royal. Turning part-AI herself gave her frightening
power, but the upgrade came with horrifying repercussions--and it's
turning Isobel into something far from human.
Spear hires Isobel to track down Penny Royal, but as she continues her
metamorphosis, it's clear that Isobel's monstrous transformations will
eventually become uncontrollable. Will Spear finish his hunt before
becoming the hunted?
