|| WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO EXIST? ||
Hadrian is a city split in two. One side lives under the iron rule of competing tech corporations. The other is a wasteland, destroyed in a schism between human and artificial intelligence, stalked by code-wraiths, mad AIs and berserk cyborg abominations.
When streetkid Piper is attacked by a rogue codewraith from Hadrian South, she discovers that she has hidden implants that no normal person should possess. Not willing to tolerate such an anomaly, the corporate overlords of Hadrian rip Piper out of her life and send her to the secluded AmpCore Academy, where she is set on a new path, whether she likes it or not.
At the academy it quickly becomes clear that the wraith attack was no accident. Someone, somewhere, tried to murder her. Plunging into the murky world of corporate politics, academy cliques and gangland wars, Piper has to find out who wanted her dead, and stop them before they try again.
