Tessa has finally made peace with her life as a Variant. She and
long-time love Alec are officially a couple, and for the first time, she has
everything she wants.
But the air is tense at FEA headquarters. An agent has disappeared, and rogue
variant organization Abel’s Army is likely the culprit.
When Tessa is summoned for her second mission, she is unexpectedly launched
into a massive conspiracy. Her best friend Holly is kidnapped and Tessa knows
it was meant to be her. But who is after her? And more importantly, why?
When the FEA’s efforts to rescue Holly don’t yield any results, Tessa takes
matters into her own hands. Desperate to save her friend and uncover the
mystery behind Abel’s Army, Tessa launches her own investigation—but nothing
could prepare her for what she finds. Everyone in her life is harboring
secrets: Alec, her estranged mother, even the father she never knew.
The truth will take her out on the road and out of her comfort zone, with
danger lurking everywhere. Summoning all of her courage and strength, Tessa
must decide who can be trusted and what is worth fighting for—even if it means
going against the life she thought she wanted. Her final decision will leave
readers breathless.
