In Alton, time is more than currency - it is life itself. The poor of Alton-Down are born with countdowns on their wrists, destined to work, trade, or steal for every breath. The elite of Alton-Up, however, live in a world without time, untouched by suffering. When 21-year-old Soibi is minted and given six months to earn her survival, a devastating betrayal forces her into the city's virtual simulation centre - and into a storm that shatters the boundary between dimensions.
She wakes up in Lagos - a version of reality where time has no power. But nothing is as it seems. When Soibi meets Seinde, a glamorous actress who looks exactly like her, both women unlock dangerous powers that connect their worlds, and uncover a terrifying truth: the division between Alton and Earth was never natural. It was built. And it's crumbling.
An Afro-futuristic fantasy filled with power, betrayal, and the courage to rewrite fate, Specimen S is the beginning of a generation-defining epic.
