At the wonderful age of sixteen most girls are concerned with boys and grades. Not Kyra Beck. She's more concerned with staying alive. The year is 2021 and the planet has descended into World War III. The Rebels and the Collective are fighting over Experiments - products of a specialized serum designed to create a super army. And Kyra is one of the deadliest. Turned into a monster against her will, she made her first kill mere weeks after what should've been her Sweet Sixteen. But she is not alone. There is hardly a child left in the entire world that is not an Experiment. Or dead. People are fighting for survival. There is no order, no law. Political leaders are dropping like flies. You are either for the Rebels or for the Collective. But in the long run, aren't they both looking to exploit the Experiments?
