Rex Walker, Anthropologe am Bostoner College, wäre gern wie sein Vater, der vor langer Zeit spurlos verschwand: ein wagemutiger Abenteuer auf der Suche nach geheimnisvollen Relikten. Doch davon ist sein Leben als Professor weit entfernt - bis er einen versteckten Hinweis auf den Verbleib seines Vaters entdeckt. Mit Hilfe seines Freundes Marcus lässt er sich von einem Milliardär engagieren, der ihm von einer sagenumwobenen "Brücke" berichtet, die angeblich außerirdischen Ursprungs ist.

The alien "gods" enslaved humanity, but a rebellion is being born. Jaisa longs to join the resistance, yet serves as a concubine to her “husband”, a brilliant but deranged scientist. His latest lab creation is Eo, a woman he designed from a cocktail of genes and memory infusions. Eo’s sole purpose: to hunt down the rebels as the flaming sword of the gods.

Jaisa’s running out of time. Her husband has created a serum that will solve all the aliens’ problems and destroy the rebellion for good...by removing everyone’s memories of the world before. Without recalling the old world or her secret rebellions, Jaisa will no longer be pretending—she’ll become the perfect little doll, and forget what it means to be human at all.

Everything had changed for Zander Greaves over the last few weeks. He'd gone from being a private military contractor with his squad in the Middle East to being isekai-ed into a different multiverse. He lost his friends and his lover, Selda, in the same hour of his arrival, sparking in him the mission to kill every single Entoma he could to repay them for his loss. Luckily, an alien named Crish arrived to help Zander adjust to his new reality.

Jaisa’s beauty and ability to please, both of which are to be used at the discretion of the scientific elite who are the one segment of humanity the new gods value, are Jaisa’s only value to the new gods. But her value to humanity may be much greater. Placed into a position of influence, she walks the line between nonconformity and death.

The insectoid Prax landed on Earth approximately 12,000 years ago and immediately went into hiding. Now that it seems safe to do so, the ravenous carnivores have awoken from their long slumber to feast on what they call "The Meats"—meaning humans. Humans are good at war. But so are the Prax. And, as book two begins, the situation is dire.

The aliens call themselves gods and inform Earth’s survivors that they are creating a utopia. Jaisa knows that no utopia can be built on billions of human deaths. A little obedience is a small, and temporary, price to stay alive while she figures out how she can make a difference.
