In a world where genetically engineered moreaus— humanoid animals designed for combat— are a disliked and barely-tolerated minority, the franks— engineered humans— are the most despised and feared creatures of all. Evi Isham is a frank who has managed a life in human society because she works for the Agency as a covert operative for the government.

Suddenly, and without warning, Evi becomes the target for a squad of ruthless moreau assassins. With no clue as to why she has become a target, Evi has to come in from the cold, returning to an Agency which may no longer be willing to protect her.

Note: this book is currently published as part of The Moreau Quartet Volume Two.
