By encouraging massive accumulations of debt, a single
corporation, Caerus, controls all aspects of society.
Inesa lives with her brother in a half-sunken town, barely scraping a
living from their taxidermy shop. But their mother has secretly accrued
enormous debt â and the only way out is to offer her daughter up to be a
sacrifice for Caerusâs livestreamed assassination event: the Lambâs Gauntlet.
MelinoĂŤ is the assassin chosen for this spectacle. The product of years of
neural reconditioning and physiological alteration, sheâs a living weapon,
famous for her cold brutality and deadly beauty. But sheâs also haunted by her
failure in the last gauntlet, when she broke down live on screen.
But as Mel pursues Inesa across the wasteland, each determined to claim
victory, they begin to question what theyâve been taught. Could there be more
to life than survival? Could they be capable of more than death?
Could they, against all the odds, be falling in love?
