Getting lost in another's body [Preview of what's to come]
At the heart of all great stories are conflicts. Conflicts of interest, character conflicts, or internal conflicting thoughts and priorities. Neuro-splicing is a dangerous experimental procedure, which Isabelle Montgomery tries to point out in Chapter 2, but James Thornton ignores her. The peril is too great, the stakes too high. The risk is surely worth it.

For the subjects, in this case primarily Ryke, it means a very real danger of losing his memories and himself in Cassie's body, a hostile environment for a foreign soul. Isabelle gives him a pack of strong pills, an antidote of sorts, which should keep him stable and in control during his undercover mission at The Rock...
Will our male protagonist find himself at odds with the Warden, who confiscates the crucial pills? Will Ryke slowly be driven into madness at The Rock, losing himself and his memories as he assumes the role of Cassie, believing that he is in fact her?
Chapters 4 and 5 set the stage for the events at The Rock, and the theme of getting lost in another's body are explored in detail in later chapters...
Stay tuned for more updates!
