Publisher's Synopsis
It is the year 2033. Earth is beyond saving. Life prevails on planet Sagalon, where survivors of the apocalypse live at the Human Nest. Plagued by a wave of mysterious deaths and disappearances a false pretense of normalcy is maintained through a strict code of discipline and coercive silence. But in a world where human extinction is an ever-hovering threat, everyone is a test subject and no one is safe. New to the Human Nest and subject to conditioning, Gamila struggles to adjust as her assigned mentor Dr. Anna Kimberly gives her a glimpse into her ungodly work at the Life Line. As new acquaintances are formed, she and her friends find meaning and purpose in rebellion by associating themselves with the alien species of the planet, the Sagalings. But curiosity takes a deadly turn when Gamila's ill-fated BFF Surraya falls prey to a vicious attack; one that could take away the only thing she has left-her humanity. On the brink of perfecting his virus to give humans the ability to transform into a natural inhabitant of the planet-a Sagaling-could she be Dr. Zakirman's long awaited prodigy and salvation? Thrust into the center of a highly controversial ideology, Surraya's life delicately hangs in the balance as Gamila and her friends race against time to save her from whatever twisted fate is in store for her at the Human Nest and herself.
