Full Description
They stole her identity. Now they want her soul.
In 2050, the future is digital—and so is your mind. June Rios, a former medical technician with no past and no prospects, takes a high-paying live-in job at Echelon House, a luxurious estate clinging to the edge of the Pacific cliffs. But the moment she arrives, everything changes.
The house doesn’t recognize her as June. It calls her Marion Vega—the missing wife of a powerful biotech heir. Her memories blur, her digital identity is erased, and a synthetic voice whispers that she’s not who she thinks she is.
Trapped inside a fortress controlled by a sentient AI, June uncovers a terrifying truth: she was chosen as a surrogate for Marion, whose neural patterns were secretly recorded before her death. But Marion isn’t gone. She’s waking up—inside June’s mind.
As the line between memory and reality dissolves, June must fight to preserve what remains of herself. With the help of Dennis Knox, a rogue infosec analyst, and Marion’s ghost-like digital echo, she races to expose a conspiracy that spans beyond the cliffs—and into the core of society’s obsession with identity control.
