A tangled web of lies that brings them together.
A tangled web of lies that brings them together.
Emmalyn Grant has spent her entire life within the walls of the Academy—a secret government facility that raises and trains genetically evolved children who possess special abilities. When she is offered a Mission by the Academy's leader, Emma gets to experience the outside world for the first time. She is given a target—a teenage boy the government deems a threat—and is asked to gather information on him to report back.
Jesse Reynolds has spent most of his life hating the government and their special program he’s not supposed to know exists. To him, the Academy kids are nothing more than evil creatures who murdered his family nearly ten years ago. He has been planning his revenge ever since, until his plans are all but ruined when a strange girl shows up in town.
Emma and Jesse find themselves caught in a dangerous game of deception and manipulation. But after a confrontation between the two, Emma must decide where her true loyalties lie and just how far she’s willing to go to discover the truth, while Jesse must figure out if revenge is really still the answer and if it’s worth the risk, before it’s too late.

A group of former Academy kids running from the past and hoping to change the future.
A week has passed since Emma, Jesse, and their friends escaped the clutches of the Academy. But they are far from safe. The government is hunting them, there may be a traitor in their midst, and close quarters cause tensions to reach boiling points that might just kill them before the Ambassador has the chance.
When someone from Emma’s past saves them from a near deadly encounter, they discover an organization of rogue Academy kids who have been working against the government for years. But the leaders of this group may have more sinister motives than it seems. Are the rogue Academy kids truly free, or have they simply traded one form of imprisonment for another?
Secrets, betrayal, and inner demons haunt Emma, Jesse, and their friends as they navigate their new lives, connect with allies old and new, and figure out a way to take down the Academy once and for all. But as the full scope of the government’s reach comes to light, they realize they may be up against more than they can survive.
