THIS MORTAL COIL (#1)

Catarina Agatta is a hacker. She can cripple mainframes and crash though firewalls, but that’s not what makes her special. In Cat’s world, people are implanted with technology to recode their DNA, allowing them to change their bodies in any way they want. And Cat happens to be a gene-hacking genius.

That’s good news, since the human race is at the brink of extinction from a horrifying virus that detonates its victims into mist. Cat will need to team up with a enemy soldier and use her hacking skills to release a genetically-encoded cure. But in a world where nature itself can be rewritten, how much can she even trust herself?

THIS CRUEL DESIGN (#2)

The nightmare of the outbreak is finally over, but Cat’s fight has only just begun. Exhausted, wounded, and reeling from revelations that have shaken her to her core, Cat is at a breaking point. When news arrives that the Hydra virus might not be as dead as she’d thought, Cat is pushed into an uneasy alliance with Cartaxus to fix the vaccine.

But when she’s confronted with lies and betrayals, Cat is forced to question everything she knows and everyone she trusts. And while her enemy is always two steps ahead, the biggest threat to Cat may be the secrets buried in her own mind. 

THIS VICIOUS CURE (#3)

Cat’s hacking skills weren’t enough to keep her from losing everything—her identity, her past, and now her freedom. She’s trapped and alone, but she’s survived this long, and she’s not giving up without a fight.

Though the outbreak has been contained, a new threat has emerged—one that’s taken the world to the brink of a devastating war. With genetic technology that promises not just a cure for the plague, but a way to prevent death itself, both sides will stop at nothing to seize control of humanity’s future.

Facing her smartest, most devastating enemy yet, Cat must race against the clock to protect her friends and save the lives of millions on the planet’s surface. No matter the outcome, humanity will never be the same.

And this time, Cat can’t afford to let anything, or anyone, stand in her way.
