A debt he can't pay. A gift he never asked for. And a city that already left him for dead. Ryan Vance was once one of Chicago's most promising doctors — until a cover-up destroyed his career, his name, and everything his mentor built. Now he's running a dying street clinic, drowning in debt, and doing whatever it takes to keep his ward Maya alive. Then a routine tragedy reveals something impossible: Ryan can graft the skills, strength, and talents of the recently dead into his own body. Every corpse becomes a second chance. Every graft comes at a cost. As Ryan claws his way back from nothing, he's pulled deeper into the empire that framed him — a network of corrupt hospitals, buried research, and the truth behind his mentor's murder. Old enemies want him buried again. Some allies aren't who they claim to be. Will Ryan's new power be enough to save Maya and expose Sterling's empire — or will the cost of resurrection destroy him first?
