In a city where the rich trade bodies like commodities, Anabelle Gage is dying in a body that doesn’t match who she is and can’t afford to escape.

Pulled into a violent conflict between the ruling class and an underground rebellion, Ana must fight to survive alongside a dangerous crew—while deciding whether she’ll serve a corrupt system or risk everything to challenge it.
