About this ebook
Aveline Corbett has 4.1 million followers, a penthouse in the fashion district, and a carefully curated life that photographs perfectly from every angle. She has sacrificed friends, family, and any version of herself that existed before the cameras started rolling.
But the algorithm is hungry.
When a nineteen-year-old newcomer begins eclipsing her relevance with effortless "authenticity," Aveline's numbers begin to slip—and with them, something far more terrifying. Her skin. Her bones. The very architecture of her body.
Then comes The Foundry.
A mysterious organization offers her a modification that promises to make her the most beautiful woman in the world—as long as she keeps being watched. The more attention she receives, the more magnificent she becomes. It's everything she's ever wanted.
Until the feeding stops.
Now Aveline is trapped in a horrifying cycle: post or perish. Perform or transform. Watch her own body begin to change in ways that are beautiful, grotesque, and utterly beyond her control. She must sacrifice everything—her integrity, her relationships, her humanity—to sustain the monster the algorithm has made of her.
And when the numbers demand a sacrifice too great to imagine, she will have to decide:
How much of herself is she willing to lose for a life that was never truly hers?
