Caenogenesis - (The Gemini Files) by Tasha He (Paperback)

About the Book

A genetically enhanced rebel and a lab-created weapon on the run form a fragile alliance in a post-apocalyptic city torn by corruption and control. But to save each other, they may have to sacrifice everything-even what makes them human.

Book Synopsis

A wall isn't the only thing dividing the ruined city of Ignis.

In a city-state split between gleaming towers and irradiated slums, Theopold Kraken fights with the Outsiders-rebels the government calls terrorists. It's a war he believes in. Then he finds Yin.

She's bleeding, feral, and not entirely human. Built in a lab as a weapon, Yin escaped with no memories and a body that's slowly failing. Her Creator made sure she'd never be able to testify about what happened to her. She doesn't understand mercy. She doesn't understand trust. She understands that Kraken is the first person who's ever treated her like she's worth saving-and she doesn't know what to do with that.

As Kraken draws Yin into the Outsiders' world, he discovers that the conspiracy surrounding her reaches into the highest levels of Ignis, and that the people he trusts may be willing to sacrifice her for the cause. Protecting Yin could cost him everything he's fought for. But walking away from her isn't something he knows how to do.

Two broken souls. One chance at freedom. In a world where trust can kill you, choosing each other might be the most dangerous act of all.
