CHiMERA: Mortal
Malevolent 'aumakua, mo'o, shapeshifters, monsters.
As black ops mercenaries return home to utopian Neo 'Aina, the public discourse is upturned with shocking leaks:
THEY are among us, and they're dangerous.
The anonymous leaker delivers another name:
CHIMERAS. Not human, not animal. Something in between.
Chimera Akela Barrett regrets everything. The power the Company gave them in exchange for their indentured servitude. The missions that still give her nightmares. The monster hiding just beneath her skin. The shock collars locked around their necks.
And now, the rabid public at their doorstep.
The only spots of hope are the bonds she forged with her fellow Chimeras: Chavez, Ramirez, and Walters; and the surprise promotion to detective at her father's precinct.
She's terrified both are about to be ripped away from her.
