Her monotonous life is shattered after a violent encounter results in the death of her sister's tormentor, leading to her capture by The Warren—a group of escapees from gruesome medical experiments. As Kaliope's body undergoes monstrous transformations, she grapples with her new reality and her place in a burgeoning rebellion against the corporation that made her. Suzanne Berget crafts a dark and immersive narrative, blending visceral body horror with the high stakes of a corporate conspiracy, ensuring readers are hooked from the first page.
