The Ogmios Project: dedicated to building the perfect family. It is this renowned project that has made Farrock Corp. the sole proprietor for genetically customized children.
Reed Ember's sister is an Ogmios Child-burdened with knowledge that far surpasses her age. After being forced into hiding, Reed's job is to make sure they are never found, but after a match-gone-wrong in an illegal fighting ring, Reed and his sister are thrown into a mystery they know nothing about. But Reed is determined to protect his little sister, even if it means sacrificing himself.
Vanessa Losse has always questioned Mamá's death. Dad tells Vanessa again and again: her mother's death was an accident, nothing more. But when Vanessa is approached by the infamous Clifton Farrock, her suspicions are finally confirmed: Mamá was murdered, and as dangerous as this new discovery is, Vanessa can't bring herself to walk away before she knows why her mother had to die.
Clifton was the first of the Ogmios Children, and he is heir to a multi-billion dollar empire. But the world doesn't know about the blood on his hands or on the hands of his father. A dead man resurfaces into Clifton's life, and suddenly he's presented with an option he never thought he'd have: stay safe and follow his father's will or face the consequences of working against him.
As Reed and Vanessa work to untangle the web of lies and deception surrounding their parents' involvement in the Ogmios Project, Clifton fights to earn their trust. Together, they must find the truth and keep the people they care about safe in a world controlled by the man who wants them dead.
