In Megan Parker's world, genetic upgrades are everything. With enough money, you can enhance your mind, your strength and even your senses. The elite walk faster, shine brighter, and rise higher, while the rest are left behind, grinding through broken systems and fading dreams.
Megan waits tables by day and serves the wealthy by night, watching those with engineered advantages live the kind of life she can only dream of. She never expected a way out, until a letter from Helix Corporation arrives, offering the impossible: a complementary DNA upgrade, a new life, and a chance to matter.
All she has to do is survive the selection process.
Inside the Helix facility, Megan faces adaptive trials, alliances, and harsh truths wrapped in luxury. The upgrades are real. So are the consequences. As the line between improvement and control blurs, Megan must decide how far she's willing to go to be transformed-and what part of herself she's willing to leave behind.
Dystopian, emotionally driven, and laced with quiet rebellion, this is a story for anyone who's ever been told they weren't enough.
