Humans have always been infatuated with the idea of power, even when a stronger species of hybrids rise to take it. A new generation is born, 50% of them gifted with strange abilities only found in fictitious novels. In a last-ditch effort to regain power, powerless "regulars" have labeled these people outcasts, their abilities illegal to perform as well as their public existence. 200 years after the appearance of outcasts, Nolan is neither outcast or human, his species was considered rare and extremely dangerous. They call them silver-blood due to its unnatural color or body-snatcher for what they do. Regulars believe his blood is the answer to their outcast problem. It was, after all, the source of his immortality. As greedy as they are power-hungry, regulars seek to capture his kind to learn their secret to gain their own endless life and put an end to outcasts. Aurelia is an outcast, forced to suppress her gift and fall in line with regulars and be just that; regular. To be discovered would result in her arrest and life-sentence in prison. Normal is easy when so much is at risk, that is until a sliver-blood discovers her identity, claiming she is the one he's been waiting for.

Pandora Wallace, along with her twin Adam, is born into the iniquitous British society of 2035. This story follows the first 18 years of Pandora's blighted life. In 2015 the British government start micro-chipping babies, at birth, and then spend 14 years also chipping all of the adult population. In 2030 they abolish cash completely and all transactions have to be carried out via a human's on-board chip. This microchip is inserted into the heart wall of all acceptably healthy babies at the moment of their birth; the heart muscles powers the chip by recharging the battery. A second microdot 'PIN' is inserted at a random point in the baby's body. Should this 'PIN' become separated from the heart chip by any distance it causes the heart microchip to explode. The government is able to electronically disable or suspend the operation of anyone's chip at their whim, leaving the owner reliant upon the charity of others, or dead. Pandora is born with a minor gene defect which precludes her from being 'chipped'. Following a family crisis, at 14 years old, she is forced out on the streets to join the vast numbers of 'non-chips' who have to rely upon charity and slave labour to survive, not being allowed to work legally or earn money. Pandora finally goes to work for the underworld, determined to claw her way to the top and acquire an illegal microchip. She becomes a messenger at first and then her virginity is auctioned off by her boss. She becomes a high-class prostitute, a bodyguard and tangles with both a psychopathic killer and a government department determined to kill her and her boss. Books 2, 3, 4 & 5r continue to tell Pandora's story, together with that of the ill-conceived Chip & PIN system.
