Kris Peterson didn’t need enhancements. As a second-generation Edit, his genes were already perfect – a rare anomaly in a world where augmentation can define power. A cop in the neon-drenched sprawl of Manchester, he enforced the laws that kept Tech-Heads in check and Edit superiority unquestioned.

Until the night he wakes up with an illegal military-grade augmentation grafted into his face, a reinforced right arm, and no memory of how they got there.

Now, he’s a fugitive. His own department has flagged him as compromised. The Edits see him as an abomination. The corporations controlling augmentation tech? They want him under their control.

Hunted by Unit 77, a rogue mercenary with ties to black-site genetic experimentation, Kris is forced into the underworld. There, he meets again with Aimee-3, a twelve-year-old escapee from a blacksite facility, a living ghost with gene mods worth a fortune. The corp would burn the city to reclaim her.

Kris’s only way forward, and his only way to survive, is to navigate the war between the Edits, the Tech-Heads, and a rising underground movement known as the Reli’s. They see augmentation as neither divine ascension nor damnation – just a path to their continued survival.

In a world where flesh is obsolete, the Temple whispers with God-like ambition, and faith is just another form of control, humanity’s next step isn’t a choice – it’s war.
