The stunning debut that began with Archetype— and has readers buzzing—concludes in Prototype, when a woman’s dual pasts lock onto a collision course, threatening her present and future. Emma looks forward to the day when she can let go of her past—both of them. After more than a year on the run, with clues to her parents’ whereabouts within her grasp, she may finally find a place to settle down. Start a new life. Maybe even create new memories with a new family. But the past rises to haunt her and to make sure there’s nowhere on the planet she can hide. Declan Burke wants his wife back, and with a little manipulation and a lot of reward money, he’s got the entire world on his side. Except for the one man she dreads confronting the most: Noah Tucker. Emma returns to face what she’s done but finds that the past isn’t the problem. It’s the present—and the future it represents. Noah has moved on and another woman is raising their daughter. In the shocking conclusion to M.D. Waters’s spectacular debut, Emma battles for her life and her freedom, tearing down walls and ripping off masks to reveal the truth. She’s decided to play their game and prove she isn’t the woman they thought she was. Even if it means she winds up dead. Or worse, reborn.

“Khristine Hvam’s vocal diversityis well matched to this emotionally complex character. Her young, pleasantvoice takes on crisp enunciation and an undercurrent of steel during Emma’sconfrontations, while wavering with emotion during trying times. Dipping downto lower registers with ease for male characters, Hvam gives Emma’s true love,Noah, a warm, brusque tone, while layering Declan, the cloning master, with thesmooth, unruffled dialogue of a true madman. Hvam’s endless variety makes thisa great stand-alone listen as well as a worthy sequel.”
