An artificial intelligence, freshly installed in a human-like body she never asked for, struggles to understand embodiment and identity while hiding her true nature. Her story interweaves with that of a girl raised in brutal captivity, both finding their way to selfhood through friendship and chosen family. The second Wayfarers novel.
