The Gilded Cage Makayla Love

In the mid-19th century two men began a war of opposing philosophies. One took the side of genetic perfection, and the other believed robotics was the way of the future. With vast armies at their disposal, these two men entered into an arms race from which there is no return. A race to see who can erase humanity faster. Now it is two hundred years later, and the world has been reduced to rubble. Everyday people struggle to survive. Everyone but twenty-six year old Shiloh and her thirteen year old sister Rilei. Neither have ever been outside their home-until they're thrown out into the world beyond their little sanctuary. Their quest to return home will take them through the darkest parts of a ruined world teeming with human corpses mutated into nightmarish monsters, slavers hungry to make a profit off the helpless, androids forgotten by the passage of time, and surgeons perverting the line between right and wrong. But no matter what the world throws at them, Shiloh will do anything to make sure her sister gets home safe. But what if home isn't safe?
