From #1 New York Times bestselling author James Islington (The Will of the Many, The Strength of the Few) comes a fast-paced cyberpunk thriller perfect for fans of John Wick and Ghost in the Shell. In a future where the ultrawealthy have discovered a way to achieve immortality, society has found a brutal solution to the problem of limited resources: legally sanctioned assassinations. For one highly skilled killer, eliminating the long-lived has become just another job—a way to pay off debts and survive in a world ruled by wealth, technology, and genetic advantage. But when an unusual assignment arrives, the familiar rules begin to unravel, forcing the assassin into a situation unlike anything they've faced in years. Blending high-octane action, futuristic technology, and dark social commentary, Scion explores immortality, inequality, and the dangerous consequences of humanity's desire to live forever.
