Description
"I can see them as they come closer, their faces drawn into impatient snarls. I can smell the cigarettes and coffee lacing their stale breath, so pungent it makes me choke. I can hear them trying to calm me down, assuring me that it's okay, that this was all supposed to happen. I can taste their bitter lies as if it was my own mouth spilling deceit. I can feel their fingers digging into my pliant arms, dragging me out of the safety of my home. There's a tug in my gut, and I know for sure that where I am going is far darker than the bruises being born on my skin." // Jace Triton never trusted the Faculty Tests, an optional program designed by the Confederation of Specialties to find individuals with extraordinary talents or abilities. She always had the gut feeling that something about the tests was corrupt, that there was evil lurking behind closed doors. Somehow Jace finds herself unwillingly thrown into the experiment, despite never entering herself. As she simultaneously becomes a prisoner to the feds and a prisoner of her own mind, she needs to find the will to survive the tests thrown at her--tests that she was correct not to trust. And as it turns out, Jace isn't as talentless as she originally thought. One test in, and she's already labeled "highly dangerous". // warning: mature themes & explicit language cover made by the lovely @skystxlinski
