If they Fail they will be Banished into the wilderness of a world three hundred years after the DNA Wars, a certain and unpleasant death.'I stare at my reflection, noting how the anger simmers just below the mask of my indifference. I grimace and try to dampen down. I will need to add extra whorls today, a distraction I hope. When the minders get a look at my face this morning I want them to see arrogance and disdain in my embellished tattoo... not the expression of someone fighting for control. My sixteenth birthday isn't here yet, I reminded myself. Today is not my day to die.'In a futuristic world, where genetic mutations have led to strange powers of magic, a group of misfits escape certain death and embark on a quest for the City of Lights, where they hope to be free from persecution.

I love mutant stories so this intrigued me. It has a Hunger Games feel and also reminds me of NEXT by Michael Crichton but it's still original on its own merit. Love the strong female lead.5 starsThis fantasy while entertaining offers a background reflection on how society casts people apart. The author while telling you a great story will have you thinking about life, our prejudices, and fight for existence and meaning.5 starsGreat dark fantasy!5 starsThis book is so weird! A good weird!
