In a world that harvests children to build machines, can the love of one "barren" woman turn monsters back into men?

Yin is eighteen and already a failure. In the Breeding Colonies of Thaera, a woman who can't conceive has one destination -- the Pleasure Houses. She has never been valued for anything except what her body can produce.

She's about to discover her world has never valued anyone at all.

The cyborg defenders who guard the Dominions aren't built. They're stolen -- human boys taken at seven, and sealed inside synthetic casings. Every memory erased. Every emotion chemically suppressed. And when madness overtakes them, the state puts them down

Sand has survived a hundred years by being strategic. Stone, by being steady. Steel, by being dangerous enough that no one gets close. None of them were designed to feel. None of them were supposed to remember.

Then Yin unleashes something ancient to save a cyborg's life -- and discovers she is more than she ever thought she could be. But her desire to save her brother from his terrible fate, with the help of the men who are now bonded to her, will paint a target on the back of every one of them. Are they willing to start a fight they have no chance of winning?

Three men remembering how to be human. One woman learning she was never worthless. And a rebellion that will cost them everything the state hasn't already taken.

Note: Contains mature, potentially triggering content set within a dystopian regime.

Romance where love is the hardest choice -- and the most necessary one.
