Scion introduces #1 New York Times bestseller James Islingtons first ever sci-fi novel in an unmissable new series filled with deadly assassins, dark humour, and world-changing technology - perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Murderbot Diaries.

KILL OR DIE . . . WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

My job, when you think about it, isnt so different from a lot of peoples.

The more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the killing people part of it, I guess, but thats a them problem: its been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realised they had a way to live forever - limited resources be damned - there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent.

So, sure, I have to deal with a tonne of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, Im really only clocking in to try and crawl out from beneath my debts. But someones got to do it.

Luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it.

Still. This next job . . . I dont know. Its something I havent had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way.

Im sure itll all go totally fine though.

In a world where the rich live forever and the poor die young, Azure is an assassin trained to kill the richest of them all - until hes hired to protect one of them instead. The question is: when youre drowning in debt, how far is too far? Fusing the dystopian morality of cyberpunk with the explosive action of anime, Scion is a fever dream you can binge in one sitting.
