Deep in the Colorado Mountains lie many secrets. One of them could change the world.When sixteen-year-old Eve Hunter returns to her childhood home of Ridgway, Colorado, she discovers a tight-knit colony of scientists and their families led by her grandfather, Jarak. Ten years earlier, her mother drowned suspiciously in a nearby canyon, and Eve becomes convinced the townspeople are hiding something. By lineage, Eve belongs to the colony and despite her reservations, she feels drawn to the colonists-particularly one of them: Daniel Winter, an eerily familiar, intense boy whose determination to monitor her and all the colonists is more than a little disturbing. After Jarak reveals her true heritage, Eve learns her return to Ridgway is not a coincidence. She's a key piece in Jarak's plan. As secrets are revealed, Eve becomes entangled in a deadly game-and time's running out to master the rules. One wrong move could jeopardize the future of the planet.
