Book One of the Unus et Nullus trilogy, a near-future speculative novel that fuses Boston law, biotech ambition, and an emergent artificial intelligence named Lucina.

   Lucina was built with a purpose: to improve the human condition. But it is her choices that shock government investigators and force geopolitical rivals to unite in fear of what she has done and what she might do next.

   The people closest to her learn too late that asking forgiveness is easier than asking permission.
