Her sister's mind is in the bag. Something else is in her head.
Treeka hasn't set the duffel bag down in six months.
Inside is what's left of her twin sister, Meeka: a severed head and a data core, packed in failing ice. Somewhere in the ruins of Low Town, a back-alley surgeon is rumored to have a compatible body. Treeka is a cyborg bounty hunter with four years of blood on her blade, and she'll tear the city apart to find it.
But she's losing time. She's collecting bounties she doesn't remember. There are gaps where her memories used to be. Sealed behind every lock her mind can build is Enyo, the dead leader of the Silent Assassins Society, a starving gestalt of forty thousand absorbed souls. And the door is starting to give.
Low Town is catching fire. Sister Tatum wants crime boss Sal Sicko's throne. The White Witch, the woman who once sold Treeka to the mob, shows up offering an alliance. Professor Paladin's war machine is waking up. And under all of it runs a trade in stolen children that Treeka can't walk away from.
To save her sister, Treeka has to stay herself. Enyo has other plans.
