Citizen, Contaminated

If the government realizes what Min and her brother are becoming, containment won’t mean treatment. It will mean cages...

After years clawing her way out of her parents’ poor immigrant life and up the corporate ladder at ArborDyne, Minseo Lee has finally made it.

Then sabotage tears a worldgate open.

The arcane explosion leaves Min with a clawed lizard arm and her brother with monstrous eyes. Contaminated, they’re both now under government surveillance. Worse, a Federal Adept - a government-leashed magical weapon - starts looking at her like she’s a problem he intends to solve.

But Min’s biggest problem isn’t administrative.
Something ancient and hungry is waking under her skin.

The first person she kills is an accident.
The second one won’t be.

Now Min has only one priority: keep herself and her brother invisible.

But what’s inside Min has its own calculus - and it isn’t patient.
