"In Eastridge, your blood is your destiny, and your scent is your sentence."
The Scent Registry tracks you-it defines you. Before you can even speak your own name, the ESBR has already predicted your future, slotting you into a life of Alpha dominance, Beta invisibility, or Omega servitude. It's a city built by Alphas, for Alphas, where the 'Public Perception' is a carefully curated mask, and the 'Patreon Truth' is a dangerous secret.
But beneath the sterile lights of the Corporate Enclaves and the high-stakes theater of political campaigns, the wires are being crossed.
From Alek Silverson, the "Alpha Standard" Mayor who secretly champions morality over biology, to Rowan Adams, the Beta forced into an "Alpha-face" just to survive a system that wasn't made for him, Eastridge is a city of high-tension slow burns and forbidden attractions.
In a world where the blood never lies, how do you live a necessary lie?
