Centuries after the Reckoning, a global biotech disaster, savage chimeras still threaten human survival. After Root hears a voice that no one else can hear, she flees into the wilderness.
Outcast and hunted, she must confront a dire threat to her people--and unravel the mystery of who she really is.
