When eleven-year-old Aisling is discovered on a remote Western Australian beach with no memory of who she is or where she came from, her past becomes a mystery that haunts her growing years. While DNA tells her who her parents were, it can tell her nothing about her past. Growing up, she struggles to fit in, her abilities and quiet otherness setting her apart from her peers. Raised by her great-uncle Lars, a retired mining engineer with a dry wit, Ash grows into a gifted young woman with an exceptional mind - but no history.
While at university, a genetics lecture reignites questions long buried, linking her to a long-destroyed biomedical lab in Thailand. With Lars's help, and aided by a tenacious private investigator, Ash begins a journey to uncover the truth behind her origins. Her history is one that will expose a trail of piracy, human trafficking, and forbidden science. What they discover will change everything she thought she knew about herself and question the limits of science, ethics, and the future of human evolution. Length approx 47,000 words across 25 chapters.
