In the future, technology has advanced to the point where people can transfer their consciousness into artificial bodies, so-called personifids - thus attempting to live forever.

Sevig Empire Corporation, Earth's leading personifid manufacturer, has secretly developed a tool to dominate these transferred humans. Aphra stumbles across sinister plans for that new technology - and now her life is in danger.

The corporation wants her silenced. Assassins, human and machine, close in. Only an outcast couple - people who still hold to an ancient faith - have the knowledge and the courage to come to her rescue. Can they prevent a great evil, or will they all be destroyed before they have the chance?

You can live forever in your new artificial body …but are you alone in it?

In the future, you can transfer your consciousness into an artificial body—known as a personifid—and cheat death indefinitely. But human beings aren’t the only ones who want those bodies—Interterrestrials have found that personifids will house them very well, too.

Ashley is trapped in San Edhem, a city where Interterrestrials and humans struggle for control of the personifids. Can her siblings Aphra and Antha rescue her before she is lost to them forever?
