Scars Born in Salt

In the wake of a landmark automotive liability case that left her husband shattered, Evelyn Kincaid signs a surrogacy contract with Veridian Genesis, hoping to rebuild their lives. Instead, she is imprisoned on the remote Aurelia Cay, where the ultra-wealthy harvest life from women treated as disposable incubators. As Evelyn uncovers a conspiracy linking biometric control systems to the same corporate negligence that destroyed her family, she orchestrates a desperate revolt. But freedom comes at a cost no soul can fully heal, leaving every survivor to navigate a future defined by the uncloseable wounds of exploitation.
