When the heart they share begins to fail, the twins escape to San Francisco, where they are surgically separated and given new artificial hearts. From then on they pursue lives beyond anything they could have previously imagined.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years later, Tila returns one night to the twins\u2019 home in the city, terrified and covered in blood, just before the police arrive and arrest her for murder\u2014the first homicide by a civilian in decades. Tila is suspected of involvement with the Ratel, a powerful crime syndicate that deals in the flow of Zeal, a drug that allows violent minds to enact their darkest desires in a terrifying dreamscape. Taema is given a proposition: go undercover as her sister and perhaps save her twin\u2019s life. But during her investigation, Taema discovers disturbing links between the twins\u2019 past and their present. Once unable to keep anything from each other, the sisters now discover the true cost of secrets.<\/p>\n<h4>Representation Includes<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Mixed race, bisexual protagonists<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><code><div><div class=\"spoiler-wrap\"><div class=\"spoiler-head no-icon  collapsed\" title=\"Expand\">Content Warnings<\/div><div class=\"spoiler-body\" style=\"display: none;\">Content warnings are needed.
