Summary: In the Hybrid Nation, the only thing worse than showing weakness is being born a little too human. Jode is a throwback, given up by his parents and raised in an institute that was never meant to serve his needs. All he wants is to get free and find his mother, and when Rowla Arl shows up to study the children in the facility, he sees his chance. Jode tries to convince the wolf to help him, but Rowla has her own agenda. And her own secrets. The kid’s atypical blood might hold the answers to her genetic problems, too. But if she wants to unlock the kid’s DNA, Rowla’s going to have to convince him to trust her, to drop everything, and to take a chance so big it could shake the whole Hybrid Nation. They’re going to have to work together to keep Jode out of enemy hands, to keep his DNA away from a psychotic monkey, and to keep the biggest secret in Hybrid Nation history from destroying them both.
