Figures ventures onto a human space station disguised as one of them, knowing discovery means execution. Humans despise clones enough to kill on sight. He searches for his vanished friend Blade but finds something unexpected instead. Anna, an elderly woman completing her final adventure among the stars, captures his attention with her warmth. Their meeting leads to an extraordinary gift when Figures offers Anna new life in a clone body. Meanwhile, Free carries the weight of lost love. Marisol defied her powerful grandfather, the owner of Clone World, by loving a clone. She planned to help Free and five others escape, then follow later. The plan crumbled. Free, once called Freak, believed Marisol was gone forever. Now word reaches him that she seeks him out. He will risk everything to reclaim what they lost.
