He wasn't human. He was a chimera; part human-part animal. And yet he knew her, he felt her like no man had ever done. In the year 3035, where corporations rule the world and everything is merchandised, freedom rides on the hopes of one man- and he isn't human. When Jared Ryder storms into Callum House to stop his sister from working for the enemy, he is confronted with an equally raging Ellie Callum. He knows he should hate her- after all it was her father who was responsible for the death of his da and the despicable oppression looming in his sector. But despite his pleading common sense, all he feels for her is instant attraction. But there is also something else that stands in his way from claiming her. He isn't human.
