En los mundos del futuro, los experimentos genéticos ya forman parte de todos los humanos. Los bug’s son guerreros diseñados para mejorar y proteger la raza humana, aunque muchos humanos no los vean como protectores, sino como otra amenaza.
Tray es un bug de primera generación, fuerte, veloz y con ojos de color plata que, junto con sus colmillos, le convierten en el soldado perfecto. Siempre ha estado solo en su vida operativa y cuando Tessa entra en su vida, ansía aquello que todos queremos: ser aceptados y queridos.
Ella le dará lo que siempre ha echado en falta en su vida, esa pizca de humanidad que lucha por sobrevivir dentro de él.

Este es un libro que no quería escribir, un libro que no debe- ría de existir, sobre algo que no debería de ocurrir, de una persona que debería de existir, de unos sentimientos que una madre nunca debería de conocer.
La muerte de un hijo deja una huella imposible de borrar; si ha perdido a alguien, quizás leerme es una buena idea, quizás se sienta al menos comprendido, mi mayor deseo al publicar este libro es que no se sienta solo, léame.
