After a botched attempt to euthanise her, she is taken in by a family of rogue simulacra living in the city slums.When one of their number dies after injecting a dose of a serum that allows simulacra to change their bodies, Aeon is worried that someone is targeting rogues. A trail of discoveries unearths a deadly conspiracy, where friends and enemies are no longer what they seem.
