The Goth Elf's Baby Contract

Cyberpunk • Dystopian • Survival
Nyx Ashborne has always been a survivor on the streets of Neo-Cascadia's industrial districts. When desperation drives her to sign up for a government reproductive program promising financial security, it seems like her only way out of homelessness.

The contract is simple: carry pregnancies for the state in exchange for medical care and regular payments. For someone who's never had anything, it feels like winning the lottery. But as time passes, Nyx discovers that even the most transactional arrangements can become complicated when you start building real connections—with other women in the program, and eventually with herself.

In a world where everything has a price, Nyx is about to learn what happens when you finally find something worth more than the contract you signed.

A cyberpunk dystopian series about survival, unexpected connections, and discovering what you're willing to fight for.
