Beschreibung
On the last night of her life, fifteen-year-old Cassie Vale-the unwanted illegitimate daughter of a New York dynasty-is forced into a frozen pool by the siblings who despise her, and drowns. In the instant her heart stops, something crosses four light-years and slips inside her: a single note of a dying alien hive-mind, a scout sent to survey the warm bodies of Earth for a migration that will erase humanity. She wakes in the drowned girl's body with all her memories and none of her self. She is meant to catalogue, report, and feel nothing. Instead, one winter at a time-through a housekeeper's soup, a strawberry, a stranger's kindness, and a man she cannot read-she begins to grow the one thing her species has never possessed: a self. And as a self, she can no longer do what she was sent to do. She can only fall in love with a doomed world, turn her impossible gifts against the family that killed her, and try to find a third way to save two civilizations at once-before the cold comes back to collect its price. A Three-Body-scale idea told as an intimate, literary revenge-and-redemption saga about grief, appetite, and the terrifying cost of becoming someone.
