In a society where crime has been eradicated, perfection comes at a price... and it is paid with the body.
The legal system has evolved beyond prisons. Now, every mistake is corrected through the amputation of the body part responsible. Stealing may cost you your fingers. Lying may silence your tongue. Thinking incorrectly may erase who you are.
Elián Voss works as a state cataloger, tasked with determining which body parts must be removed in every trial. His work is precise. Objective. Unquestionable.
Until he discovers something impossible.
Some people are born mutilated for errors they never committed.
As he investigates sealed records, black markets for human body parts, and prosthetics that retain memories of their former owners, Elián begins to understand that the system is not seeking justice.
It is seeking perfection.
And perfection demands more than obedience.
It demands the sacrifice of what makes us human.
A brutal, disturbing, and deeply unsettling dystopian horror novel that explores how far a society obsessed with eliminating error is willing to go.
