Born with a multitude of health issues, Astrid's days were limited. Her parents opted for surgery to install mods to fix them. What no one expected was that her body would reject them, resulting in seizures, blindness, deafness, and a host of other problems worse than what she had before. But the doctors found a medication that could help delay the destruction of her body from the inside out. But Astrid keeps refusing to take the medication despite the consequences she's been warned of...only to discover there's much more to it than anyone's ever told her.
