Jump or Fall: A Dark Cyberpunk Romance
When a man with a scarred face appears in Mara’s home looking to purchase an armor suit, everything turns on its head.
He shouldn’t be in her part of the city–let alone in her apartment. The Silvers hold the city hostage with implanted retractable claws and the ever-present threat of “stripes” for disobedience. A stripe to the face? The worst punishment: banishment to the Outskirts.
But the scar isn’t the only reason he shouldn’t be there. Mara’s life as a designer and maker of armor for Hyperion may seem glamorous, but she lives in a prison without bars. Her keeper is Dawson Knight, the leader of the Silvers himself.
Perhaps this stranger offers her a chance at freedom. But the cost of failure will be more than her face, and she must decide whether she’s willing to pay.
She must choose: jump or fall.
