Laura Mendez never asked to lead anyone. She only wanted to free her sister and expose Verdios's crimes. But now the minds enslaved by Horizon Now are waking up-and every one of them is being pulled straight into her jar. If they're not possessing machines and causing chaos in the real world, they're trapped in her consciousness, terrified and begging for help. To protect them, Laura transforms her private domain into a refuge. Overnight, she becomes responsible for a growing-and increasingly divided-population with no other place to go. Meanwhile, Verdios president Izabella Cole faces a crisis of her own as public pressure mounts and powerful forces work to bury the truth. Two women on opposite sides of the system must fight the same war from different fronts. Outside, the world spirals. Inside, tensions rise. And Laura must decide how far she'll go to keep her people alive.
