In a world slowly emerging from the chaos and destruction of the Troubles, the children of the wealthy and powerful played amid the ruins of the past. Luddía and Katharos were the genetically designed daughters of Amyntor and Belînay Thyatira; one intended to be the most beautiful woman in the world, and the other, a protector and guard.

A power-hungry prince, a traitor in the people most trusted to guard her sister, and a man designed like her to be a perfect fighting machine—all combined to form a challenge Katharos wasn't sure she could overcome. And once she fought side by side with Siarhei Morozov, she knew her heart wasn't going to survive this one, either.
