TRUST NO ONE

Detroit 2030. Peri Reed, a renegade escaping her conflicts, gets double-crossed by both the person she loved and the government organization that recruited her. She can't trust anyone. Her crush, her agency, her family, herself.

The Drafter is a book about Peri. She holds a poweful skill that allows her to change time, although it makes her forget both the history she changed and the history she edited. Peri lands not in a normal job, but a job that tasks her with changing the past. She kills and deceives and brainwashes and steals.

She's a silent ghost in the night.

When Peri discovers that she is on a list of corrupt operatives to be killed she realizes that she has been manipulated, she has been used, she has been exploited, she has been controlled. Peri uses her ability in this sci-fi piece to show readers how important trust is in human relationships. The Veil similarly uses characters with special abilities in a different setting to also show use a similar message.
