What if your very existence was punishable by death?
Sasha lives far from Earth, on the planet where Atlantis once prospered. There the Atlanteans have been conducting a millennia-long experiment of which Sasha is the culmination. She is the Original hybrid, half-human/half-Atlantean, whose creation sent a nanite-filled wave of energy across her world – creating the hybrid species. One caveat exists to complete this experiment – the Original hybrid must die. If not, every newly-turned hybrid will die instead, and Atlanteans will leave no trace of their civilization or technology behind.
New to life and battling mental stability over sharing her mind with the AI who created her, Sasha finds herself in an uneasy alliance with Nikolai, the prince of the most influential colony in her world. Despite his privileged life, he harbors a secret – he's traveled through time. Past, present, and future converge when the Original hybrid is born behind the Atlanteans' backs. And soon, Nikolai must decide between the life he has found and escape through time – a choice irrevocably tied to Sasha.
In this whirlwind of time travel, betrayal, and love – the impulsive and spirited Sasha must decide if there truly is more to life than surviving in a place where nobody is as they seem.
