This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Book 1 in an electrifying new series by the NYT #1 bestselling author.

Scion is a gripping sci-fi thriller in which a contract killer assigned to protect a scientist from assassination finds himself in the crosshairs.

My name's Azure. I kill rich idiots for a living. All completely legal, of course, even if it does still make the old-fashioned crowd a bit uncomfortable. Once the ultra-wealthy realised they had a way to live forever-limited resources be damned-there was only ever going to be one real deterrent.

In the end, it's like a lot of people's jobs. I have to deal with a ton of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some awkward face-to-face interactions. And, like most of us, I'm only clocking on to crawl out from beneath my debts. It can be dirty work sometimes, sure, but someone's got to do it.

Luckily, my genetic enhancements make me really, really good at it.

This next job, though...strange, that it got thrown my way. I haven't had to protect a client in years.

Still, what could go wrong?

'A high-octane cyberpunk thrill ride.' Fonda Lee

'Explosive and delightfully cinematic, perfect for sci-fi fans who love a wisecracking, morally ambiguous protagonist.' Publishers Weekly starred

'A brilliant page turner by my new auto-buy author.' Adalyn Grace

'Full of fierce energy and razor-sharp writing.' Jeremy Szal
