I have a curse; I have a gift.

I'm a monster; I'm more than human.

My touch is lethal; my touch is power.

I am their weapon; I will fight back.

No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon. But Juliette has plans of her own. After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time – and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.
