Dean survives The Marrow the same way everyone does — scraping by, one dirty job at a time. But her latest gig buries something inside her that was never meant to exist: stolen data, a corporate secret worth killing for, and a clock she can't stop. Now she has eight hours before it kills her from the inside — and an army of mercenaries who'd rather she die first. In a city built on rust and rot, she has one shot to survive the clock, the syndicate, and whatever's now living in her head.
