Cosa was more than a city, it was a beacon of creativity, innovation, and opportunity. Simon Granger, the grandson of one of Cosa's most celebrated architects, lived a life of privilege in this bustling metropolis, surrounded by people of incredible talent and boundless possibility. However, despite his advantages, Simon found himself feeling restless and unfulfilled. Desperate for adventure and eager to explore the unknown, Simon joins his grandfather Arthur on a dangerous journey that takes him deep into the heart of the city. But what starts as innocent thrill-seeking quickly turns perilous, as a series of tragic events propels Simon further into the strange and mysterious history of Cosa. Pursued by the ruthless Agent Collins, Simon finds himself running for his life, guided only by the cryptic words of the powerful Caplan family. He soon realizes that the truth about his family, his city, and his own biology is far more insidious than he ever could have imagined. From the gleaming domes of Cosa to its dangerous underbelly, Simon's journey is a thrilling ride of intrigue, danger, and self-discovery. Grant Nielsen's epic debut science fiction novel is a heart-pumping tale of courage and mystery, set against a backdrop of futurism and social engineering. Though Simon's life in Cosa was rich with possibility, his demeanor and attitude were falling out of step with the shining optimism of his gleaming city. Was adolescence this hard for everyone or was something missing from Simon's privileged life? Lacking the ability to explain or express his shiftlessness, an unquenchable desire for exploration pushes Simon and Arthur to pursue a dangerous and thrilling adventure. However, what begins as innocent thrill-seeking quickly turns perilous. Through a tragic chain of events, Simon is driven through grief and restlessness deep into the strange heart and history of Cosa. Pursued by the sociopathic Agent Collins and guided by the mysterious powerbrokers of the Caplan family, Simon's quest for answers pushes him beyond the help of his family, their collective origins and even his own biology.
