A baby is born without crying. The doctors can't explain why.
Dr. Evelyn Hart injects her blind, limbless newborn with an experimental gene therapy at three in the morning. By dawn, the baby has fingers. Thirty-seven miles south, in a classified military facility, her husband feeds the baby's blood to a dying weapon—a teenage boy whose body produces a compound that rewrites human biology through love and dependency. Breathe near him and you become attached. Stay too long and your cells begin to change. Leave and the withdrawal kills you.
The compound doesn't fear. It uses warmth. Belonging. The chemical architecture of love.
Book One of the GOTNA Trilogy.
