THE BORROWED LIFE

“The Borrowed Life follows Juniper Wren, a quiet florist whose world is upended when she becomes the unwitting subject of Arcturus, a clandestine program that swaps-and controls-human lives. After waking in a stranger's body and uncovering evidence that her own identity has been stolen, Juniper joins forces with hacker Ryder and ex‑operative Hale to expose the truth. As she tracks Arcturus's lead architect, Dr. Aveline Marris, to a remote coastal lab and then to the program's offshore stronghold, Juniper learns that the conspiracy runs far deeper-co-opted by Graham Holt, a ruthless CEO bent on "perfecting" humanity through mind control. Betrayals fracture Juniper's closest alliances, forcing her to confront her own limits and the legacy of her late mother, one of Arcturus's original designers. With time running out, she and her allies infiltrate Mirage, the heart of the program's live-swap experiments, and ignite a global data leak that collapses Holt's empire. From adrenaline‑fueled break‑ins to courtroom showdowns, Juniper transforms from a targeted pawn into the catalyst for a worldwide reckoning, proving that reclaiming one's life is the most revolutionary act of all.”
