Synopsis
A prescient science fiction vision of humanity and identity in a trans-human world
Eva, the Green Jay, is a "body double"--3D printed from plant matter, disposable. She should have disintegrated weeks ago.
Instead, she has managed to stay alive, hidden by the Chemical Conjurers--robot twins, hobby-synthesists--and aided by the unfathomable alien Tenties. But her life--such as it is, such as any life can be in the strange, half-forgotten borough of Barlewin in the shadow of the High Track, where neon light falls on broken cobbles--is still precarious. What she really needs is inside a Time Locked box, a box locked by Time, held by the local crime boss, Guerra.
Eva knows she can count on Mac, who loves her, but her survival hangs on Mac's friend Brom, the Crow. And she's not sure about him at all.

"I WAS MEANT TO COME TO BARLEWIN, BUT I WAS NEVER MEANT TO STAY."
The half-forgotten streets of Barlewin, in the shadow of the High Track, are a good place to hide: among the aliens and the couriers, the robots and the doubles, where everyone has secrets.
Like Eva, a 3D-printed copy of another woman, built to be disposable.She should have disintegrated days ago... and she hasn't.
And now her creator wants her back.
