Cora Sabino stands at the center of a brewing war between Earth and the Superorganism, an alien collective that has already demonstrated its devastating power. When the aliens offer humanity a path to survival through symbiosis, Cora must navigate the treacherous politics of both species while grappling with her own transformation. Her relationship with Kaveh becomes a lifeline as governments collapse and xenophobic factions push for total war. The Superorganism's concept of mercy differs radically from human understanding, forcing Cora to question everything she believes about survival, identity, and what it means to be human. As Earth's deadline approaches, she discovers that saving her species might require sacrificing her humanity itself.
