A fetid alley, roving security aircar and bloodthirsty mob, it's just another night in the slums of Shantytown. This town feeds on the weak.

A muddy medical gown, festering wound and no memory of who she is or how she got there, Kat staggers from that alley and into her new life as a Trodden. She might be vulnerable but she's certainly no victim.

A hopeless Rat, disgraced doctor and handsome citizen, Kat's friends might help her but what will be the cost? Something hunts Kat, looking to finish what began the night she lost her memories. If she wants any chance to save her friends and herself, she'll learn exactly who she was and what she can do.

Scorched, a suspense thriller set in a dystopian future, follows the mystery of one woman's struggle to regain her identity and discover the reason why a powerful force wants her dead.
