Secrets made them. Powers changed them. Now survival will define them.
Sixteen-year-old Samantha Riley thought her biggest problem was a fight with her best friend. Then she saw her mother-twice. One upstairs, tearing apart a bedroom in a frantic search. One downstairs, calling her name.
That moment shatters the reality she thought she knew.
When her twin brother, Stone, admits the unthinkable-that he can transform into other people-Sammy realizes she's not imagining things. And when she discovers she can do it too, her life is turned upside down.
Suddenly, the twins are thrust into a world of dangerous secrets, hunted by Dr. Jasper-the brilliant, unstable scientist who engineered their existence in a lab. To Jasper, they aren't kids. They're experiments. And he won't stop until he has them back under his control.
But Sammy and Stone aren't alone. With the help of Jason, a mysterious older teen with powers of his own, they set out to find others like them. Every ally they recruit makes them stronger-but also draws Jasper closer. And with each discovery, Sammy questions whether their gifts are a blessing... or the curse Jasper designed them to be.
Torn between the normal teenage life she longs for and the terrifying reality of what she is, Sammy must decide who to trust, how to survive, and what kind of person she wants to become. Because the truth about their origins is only the beginning-and Jasper's plan for them is darker than they could have ever imagined.
