Drifter Simone Lang has been on the run for a decade, searching for the promised land—a place of safety for people like her, people with unnatural powers, people called Variants. Her problem? She has no idea where to find it.
Bounty hunter Z Boukhari uses her speedster abilities to take down others of her kind for the courts. She suffers a burning need to find the woman responsible for her mother’s death ten years ago.
When Simone and Z run into each other, they both find the answers they need and more. One woman holds Simone’s salvation and Z’s vengeance. They connect the pieces together, one for hope and one for death as love and desire blossom between them. But which will succeed—the dreamer or the butcher?
