Mimes can be turned into anyone their corporate city-state owners want, until the stress of assuming masques causes a meltdown. Earning Selfhood—citizenship and a permanent form—is a mime’s sole hope for survival.
Tristan is one mission away from Selfhood. His assignment is to enter the heart of the enemy corporation’s nerve center, steal top-secret data, and escape…
