What if you were mankind’s
last chance at survival?
Sixteen-year-old
Tess lives in a compound in what was once the Western United States, now
decimated after a devastating fourth World War. But long before that, life as
we knew it had been irrevocably changed, as women mysteriously lost the ability
to bring forth life. Faced with the extinction of the human race, the
government began the Council of Creators, meant to search out alternative
methods of creating life. The resulting artificial human beings, or Chosen
Ones, were extraordinarily beautiful, unbelievably strong, and unabashedly
deadly.
Life is bleak, but
uncomplicated for Tess as she follows the rigid rules of her dystopian society,
until the day she begins work at Templeton, the training facility for newly
created Chosen Ones. There, she meets James, a Chosen One whose odd love of
music and reading rivals only her own. The attraction between the two is
immediate in its intensity—and overwhelming in its danger.
But there is more
to the goings-on at Templeton than Tess ever knew, and as the veil is lifted
from her eyes, she uncovers a dark underground movement bent not on taking down
the Chosen Ones, but the Council itself. Will Tess be able to stand up to those
who would oppress her, even if it means giving up the only happiness in her
life?
