Dissipation

Description

Author: R. O. Carol

What secrets are hiding behind the perfectly manicured façade of Ascencio, Inc.? Working for the most advanced mental health institute in the United Districts of the New World is a privilege not granted to many. When the company sends Alethia off with her exasperating supervisor, Odeza, on a strangely romantic tour of other district facilities, things seem too good to be real. Especially when she learns of the new “miracle drug” Ascencio is testing. Meanwhile, Mora has checked herself in as a resident at Ascencio, Inc. When she is offered a spot in a clinical trial for a drug to cure her depression, she has nothing to lose. The two women’s stories collide as Alethia tries to unravel the truth behind Ascencio’s methods.
