THE GOVERNMENT CREATED HER. THE MILITARY USED HER.UNTIL SHE DISCOVERED - NO ONE COULD CONTROL HER. Sixteen-year-old telekinetic Eten longs to be a healer, not an assassin. She's enraged when she must teach her adorable five-year-old sister to kill. Not that she can do anything about it. These are emotions Eten must keep under strict control or risk the wand-a device that lights up her spinal implants with excruciating pain. But Eten has begun to suspect things are not as they seem. Why does the war for world peace never end? Why won't Dad ever let her leave their underground pod to see the surface-or to meet other teens? And why does a prisoner insist he's a climatologist, not a terrorist? When Eten's suspicions lead her to horrifying discoveries, she revolts. Torn between loyalty and fear, she falls from being the military's biggest asset to the government's biggest fugitive, fleeing into a beautiful and suffering America to find one special family and one special boy who may help her save herself, her siblings, and maybe even the world.
