In 2071 Lona has two problems.

The ancient Celtic tales she's translating are coming to life...

...and the Faith Police are framing her for murder.

But how much of it is real?

As Lona and her band of misfits struggle to find the killer and solve the mystery, life begins to unravel. Virtual reality games invade their world; ghostly stories begin to stalk them. To save her life, Lona is forced to confront her troubled past and re-write her own story. So are her friends.

Can they solve the secret of the tales and restore their world to safety?

Or will they be lost forever in a nightmare?

Synthetic weaves a captivating blend of cyberpunk and folklore, laced with dazzling dark humour.

Industry Reviews

'Imagine Malcolm Pryce's 'Aberyswyth' series mixed with David Mitchell's 'Cloud Atlas' and Atwood's 'The Handmaid's Tale - add a drop or two of Miss Marple and Philip K Dick and it still doesn't begin to describe the brilliance of this novel.' Amazon.co.uk review

'Cat Thomas has brought readers a fascinating, surprising and original world.' Amazon.com review

'Highly recommended to anyone seeking for an interesting, captivating read.' Amazon.co.uk review
