In a world where security cameras prove what you have done and databases define who you are, the few who know how to manipulate the technology can play God.

Danielle Leaf grew up believing she was safe. Now she knows she was wrong.

Life had never been easy, but I had never wanted it to be. Changing my looks, my attitude, the way I walked, it was invigorating; it was something I couldn't live without. My personality changed, my lifestyle changed, but that was all part of the job. What I never expected was being thrown in blind, with no clue as to who my enemies were, who my friends were, and worse, who to trust. ***Cover by Eyekandi***
