Specials

Tally Youngblood has been transformed. No longer an Ugly or a Pretty, she is now a Special: a super-amped, physically perfected fighting machine. As part of an elite squad, her senses are razor-sharp, her strength is terrifying, and her purpose is clear - to keep the pretties in line and crush any hint of rebellion. The clarity and focus of her new mind feel better than anything she can remember, a thrilling existence engineered for absolute control. Most of the time, it's easy to embrace this power and forget the girl she used to be.

But a tiny corner of her heart remembers something more, a past that clashes with her current perfection. When she's offered a chance to permanently eliminate the rebels of the New Smoke, Tally is forced to confront the person she has become. The mission pushes her to question whether she is defined by her programming and surgeries or by the choices she makes. This final transformation explores the conflict between societal control and individual will, forcing readers to consider what it truly means to be human when your body and mind are no longer your own.
