What am I?

That's the question Riel has been running from his entire life.

T.A.D.-the corporation that became a totalitarian regime-dissolved Europe's nations, erased its borders, and engineered a replacement. New Europa. One language. One order. Every mind connected to SOLACE, an artificial superintelligence that believes, with quiet certainty, it is keeping humanity safe. In Echelon, obedience has never felt so much like choice. T.A.D. calls itself progress. But progress has always had owners.

Nineteen years old. Never Integrated. In a world where that should be impossible, Riel has survived by staying invisible. No questions. No answers. No one to trust. It was working. Until the visions started.

Impossible memories. Glimpses of lives not his own. Knowledge he never learned and cannot explain. Someone else's past living inside his head, growing louder.

He used to know where he ended. He's not sure anymore.

When a rebellion group finds him-and with them, Elias-staying hidden is no longer an option. And the answer to the question he's been running from turns out to be the most dangerous thing in the world.
