<p>Between war flashbacks, crippling alcohol addiction, and a world powered off the neurochemicals of the indigenous working class, Thomas Chester is already at the end of his rope when he's placed on security detail for the world's richest family. Unfortunately, the detail was set up to take the fall for the kidnapping of the conglomerate family's heiress, Sayuri Ueichi. Against all odds, Thomas saves her from capture by a rival megacorporation who wants the secrets buried in her skin.</p> <p>Until now, it was impossible to implant kinkawa—electricity-generating gold wires—across an entire body without killing the user. That is, before Sayuri's father's scientists managed it, with his own daughter as the test case.</p> <p>No one is quite sure what her special kinkawa is capable of, but the rumors are enough to stoke a global civil war between conglomerates vying to cut her open and find out.</p> <p>With the help of the prostitute who turned down his marriage proposal and an astronaut-turned-government-spy, Thomas has to find a way to get Sayuri home to the rest of her clan in order to clear his name. All that stands in their way is a civil war, an indigenous uprising, and the girl's own physics-defying powers.</p> <p>What to Expect:A dystopian setting, heavily character-driven, sappy found family stuff, and a lot of social science.</p> <p>Chapters around 3-4k words and 2 updates a week.</p>
