L'infanzia di Sophy Layzell fu ricca di storie, un'esperienza formativa che influenza profondamente la sua scrittura. Le avventure create da suo padre e le letture drammatiche di suo fratello accesero la sua immaginazione, rivelando il profondo potere della narrazione nel plasmare il senso del luogo e i sogni. Per Layzell, le storie non sono un semplice intrattenimento, ma strumenti essenziali per costruire identità e storia. Attraverso il suo lavoro, esplora il bisogno umano fondamentale di connessione e significato derivanti dalla narrazione.
In a world where cloned organs are currency, loyalty and truth are hard to find... As the Establishment step up their security measures, what little freedom the people have is squeezed even tighter. As things reach a crisis point, who will come to Lincoln and Deter's aid in time?
Deter Edison is an ordinary girl, or so she thought... After a brutal kidnapping, Deter finds herself propelled into a world that she knows nothing about. Her scientist captors want something that only she has - an incredibly rare gene - and they'll stop at nothing until they get it.
Deter and Lincoln are both on board the Sanctum ship the White Swan. It is luxurious and reminds Deter of her past life in New York. Lincoln has the best medical care and they have made new friends, but as time goes on she begins to wonder, are they guests or prisoners?
