A POSTHUMAN TALE
One of the best brain doctors of his time, Nathi lost his own brain five centuries ago when he became a posthuman.
He is called upon to save a comatose girl. The damage is extensive, so he decides to map his own mind into her brain in order to replace the badly damaged part.
But something unexpected waits for him within the Girls brain. She is a carrier of a Wish Fairy, an enigmatic sentient cyber being whose only purpose is to kill the Wish, a virus used by the ruling cyber Wizard Orders to enslave all posthuman mindsincluding Nathis.
Liberated, Nathi forms a symbiotic unionthe Dancerwith the Girl, discovers the true cause of her brain injury, and finds a way to break out of the Castle, their high-tech prison, and into the Martian polar night.
But once outside, the real chase begins.
They must resist the cyber wizards who are trying to remotely regain control of their minds while also sending a force in pursuit. This battle must be fought both in the physical world and that of the mind.
