CHAPTER ONE

On a bus trip to the beach, Charlotte Cruz and her fellow classmates were taken from their families, from their lives to become unwitting experiments in transmutation. Three years later, they've escaped the facility that held them and the real struggle now begins. Life as they knew it is irrevocably gone. It's become a battle to survive. A battle in knowing who to trust. A battle in protecting those they love and deciding whether or not to hide, or stand and fight.
