In a future world governed by the Educational Institution Headquarters, one ultimate goal is drilled into every person from birth: to gain acceptance into Academia, a legendary institution. Hyria is one such student, devoting every second of her time, every molecule of her being, and every thought in her mind-until she stumbles upon something life changing.
A small piece of clay.
From an unassuming piece of clay, her world is turned upside down. Rejecting all codes of conduct and expected behavior, Hyria begins to see that Academia is not life's sole purpose. The Educational Institution Headquarters reacts swiftly, and works to smother the unrest that begins to rustle through society-but it is not so easily snuffed out. The change has already taken flight, and the shell has cracked.

In a sterile, ever-watching laboratory known only as The Facility, science and control are indistinguishable. Infectids - once human, now something else entirely - are studied, subdued, and sacrificed in the name of progress.

As she earns favor from Kaleidos, the mercurial infectid-CEO, Stephanie begins her descent into the heart of a movement known only as the New World - a revolution dressed as salvation. But when praise becomes possession, and obedience demands transformation, Stephanie finds herself mutated from loyal assistant to something far less... predictable. Haunted by the past, manipulated by power, and stalked by a childlike infectid with glass eyes and too much understanding, Stephanie is forced to question everything: the purpose of her work, the humanity of her subjects, and the infection growing quietly inside her. But in this facility, questions are dangerous - and answers may be worse. Obedience made her rise. Now infection will decide if she survives.Complete
