Yesterday, Drea Smith couldn’t do anything spectacular—even walking and texting at the same time was a challenge. But today, she suddenly has more answers than Google, can speak and understand numerous languages, and she can fight. Drea has no idea where her encyclopedic knowledge has come from, but she’ll take it when she discovers someone out there knows her secret and wants her badly. And that they’ve been searching for her since she was born.

Since she was created.

With the help of her best friend Dylan, who just wants to keep her safe, and Maddox, a mysterious new boy who is prepared to get her answers, Drea will have to push her new skills to their limit as she uncovers nothing is quite what it seems.

A cool breeze picks my hair up and blows it across my face, tickling my nose. I welcome the gentle sensation and the sense of freedom that comes with it. The sun reflects off the dome roof of the nearest training compound, and it glistens in the distance. Locked in a training room is no way to spend an entire day. Except for a family of deer below me, I’m completely alone.

The man below stands rigid, fists clenched at his sides. Once the first man is out of sight, he kicks at the ground and throws punches into the air. My foot slips against the trunk and spooks a bird, sending it into flight. The man looks up. My heart catches in my throat as our eyes connect. Stunning blue eyes.
