The worst is over. Social order is on the rise, a new food is feeding all registered families, cloning is outlawed, and the bigger biotech companies are making early strives in reintroducing lost species.
Tilly and Louis, the stewards of a remote, old growth forest, want to keep this new world out. Their responsibility is only to their trees and beloved birds. But with a dwindling trust fund and mounting pressure to lease their land to Anson Genetics, they're faced with a difficult decision. The situation worsens when two human clones, from a defunct project, arrive at their gate. Now, they must decide to protect the last of the old or the first of the new.

Beneath the Shadowlanders
We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.Complete
