Description
In a super-high-tech future where humanity has conquered distance, disease, and even death, life on a desert planet is engineered into a dazzling utopia—safe, seamless, and endlessly customizable. When a young woman discovers the hidden costs behind this perfection, she’s drawn into a world of daring spectacle and radical reinvention, where identity can be rewritten and consequences can be postponed. But as she pushes against the limits of her society’s control, her rebellion becomes a search for something the system can’t manufacture: genuine choice, authentic desire, and a self that isn’t merely “repaired” after every fall. With Tanith Lee’s signature lyrical intensity and imaginative edge, this novel blends speculative futurism with sharp questions about freedom, conformity, and what it means to live when death is no longer a boundary.
