Lyon's Legacy

Sometimes being a geneticist isn’t enough to understand your family....



Joanna Lyon, descendant of the legendary TwenCen musician Sean Lyon, would rather study genes than play a guitar. Resentful being overshadowed by her famous ancestor, she hopes to establish her own identity as a scientist. Standing in her way is Uncle Jack, who controls the family fortune and insists the entire family go into music. When a wormhole opens to an alternate universe where Sean is still alive, Jack seizes the opportunity to have him cloned and hires Joanna to steal the DNA. Joanna knows that Sean will be murdered and his clone exploited. To save them, she will have to come to terms with her heritage, face her immediate family in her home universe, and take on a role she never expected to play, a role that could block her from her dreams.
