Beggars in Spain – What if sleep became obsolete?

In a future reshaped by genetic engineering, Leisha Camden never sleeps—and never slows down. Brilliant, tireless, and perfectly healthy, she’s part of a new elite: the Sleepless. But not everyone welcomes this evolution. As tensions rise between those who sleep and those who don’t, society begins to fracture.

Leisha’s twin sister, born without enhancements, reflects the growing divide. And when the Sleepless flee Earth to build a utopia in orbit, Leisha stays behind to fight for unity. But with secrets unraveling and vengeance brewing, tolerance may be the most radical act of all.

Beggars in Spain is a gripping tale of identity, inequality, and the cost of progress. Perfect for fans of thought-provoking sci-fi with heart.
