In a future where society spreads out across the stars and social status is shaped by body modification, orphaned Safia finds simplicity in expanding her family's business into bounty hunting.
As one of the few humans in a genetically enhanced world, she's spent her life avoiding the political chaos of the Interplanetary Government and the increasing rebellion of planetary nations. But now her latest contract is destined to bring that all crashing down.
In her arrest of Aris Amarelli, Safia soon finds she's bitten off more than she can chew. A boy bred for his genius in biochemistry and less than legal pharmaceuticals, law enforcement is not the only enterprise out for him and his family. His personal attempts at bribery and coercion are the least of her concerns as they become enveloped in interplanetary war.
