Opis

Disappearance - Kidnapping - Crime & Punishment - Running away from one's duty. Are you ready for the opportunity to restore honor to one's home and household? Mona Bendrarova is assigned a task. Find the runaway Honey, return her home, and restore honor to her house. Easy, right? However, something is wrong, very wrong. Someone else's personal agenda is at work. Mona finds that there is more to this disappearance than just a simple runaway and her investigation takes a surprising turn. When Honey, a senior member of the Marks estate and favored bed mate to her master, fails to appear for her conversion summons, everyone assumes she has run away. Her failure to appear throws the entire household into disarray and Lee is punished while the honor of his is stripped. Seeds of doubt and rebellion are planted as Mona comes into conflict with her upbringing and training in direct contrast to the facts that she uncovers. As her investigation concludes, a decision that her best friend embraces, forever shakes her foundation of everything Mona has ever believed. When you read this story, you'll discover that how the human species survives is an age old acceptable practice. Without a doubt, you will know where your next meal comes from. You will imagine what it is like to live in a world separate from the one we take for granted. Millennia ago in an age of profit-driven corporate food production, genetically modified organisms, or GMO's, mutate uncontrollably and wreak havoc with the Earth's genome, and the planet's entire protein based food sources disappears forever. Humans are on the precipice of extinction. During the final days, scientists come up with a solution but at a significant cost. A millennium later, people survive by consuming the only known source of protein available ... themselves. When you finish this story, you'll begin to ask yourself, could this really could happen? Appropriate for readers 18+.
