A gripping near-future thriller from the author of False Hearts.

Ravaged by environmental disaster, greed and oppression, our planet is in crisis. The future of humanity hangs in the balance - and one woman can tip it over. Despite increasing restrictions on the freedoms of women on Earth, Valerie Black is spearheading the first all-female mission to a planet in the Goldilocks Zone, where conditions are just right for human habitation. It's humanity's last hope for survival, and Naomi, Valerie's surrogate daughter and the ship's botanist, has been waiting her whole life for an opportunity like this - to step out of Valerie's shadow and really make a difference. But when things start going wrong on the ship, Naomi starts to suspect that someone on board is concealing a terrible secret - and realises time for life on Earth may be running out faster than they feared

One twin is imprisoned for a terrible crime, while the other will do anything to set her free. Tila stumbles home one night, terrified and covered in blood, and is arrested for murder, the first civilian case in decades. The San Francisco police suspect her involvement with Zeal, a powerful drug, and offer her twin sister Taema a chilling deal: assume Tila's identity to gather information, and if she brings down the drug syndicate, the police may spare her sister's life. As Taema investigates, she uncovers dark secrets from their past. Raised by a cult that banned modern medicine, the twins escaped after needing surgery to separate their shared heart. Taema learns that Tila was shaped by the cult, which is linked to the city's underground. Once unable to keep secrets, the sisters must confront the true cost of lies.
