Description
A deadly virus.
Bombs killing GENs.
One GEN girl is the key to stop the killing.
Once just a GEN (genetically engineered nonhuman) girl terrified of her first assignment, Kayla is now a member of the Kinship, a secret organization of GENs, lowborns, and trueborns - three separate castes, working together to further the cause of GEN freedom. Kayla spends her days traveling on Kinship business, collecting information that can help them.
But despite Kayla's relative freedom, she is still a slave to the trueborn ruling class. She rarely sees trueborn Devak, and any relationship between them is still strictly forbidden.
Kayla longs to be truly free, but other priorities have gotten in the way. A deadly new virus has swept through GEN sectors—a disease only GENs catch. And GEN warrens and warehouses are being bombed, with only a scrawled clue: F.H.E. Freedom, Humanity, Equality.
In this sequel to Tankborn, freedom and love are put on the back burner as Kayla and her friends find a way to stop the killing . . . before it’s too late.
