PROTOCOL BREACHED. EMOTIONS INITIALIZING. Humanity perfected itself-or so they believed. Emotions suppressed. Free will erased. Productivity made absolute. But even the most flawless designs fracture. With civilization on the edge of collapse, the holy ones gamble on a single creation: a genetically enhanced child unlike any other.

She was built to preserve their future, yet within her grows something they never intended-curiosity, defiance, and the dangerous spark of emotion. As whispers of rebellion stir and the architects of this new world argue over whether humanity deserves saving, Melyndie must decide whether she is a tool to be used¿or the catalyst of a destiny no one could predict. In a society terrified of imperfection, one imperfection may be the only hope of survival.
