The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?
Action-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, this is a dark and compelling debut novel by Lindsay Cummings.

CHAPTER 2
ZEPHYR
A
number is a stupid thing to fear.
57809.
Each time I see that one I shiver.
45860.
I spin away, face flushed, fingers trembling.
23412.
Guilt. Hatred. Anguish. I want to turn around and bang my head against a brick
wall until it bleeds, until I black out and leave the world behind.
Wards
shouldn’t have feelings. Especially the boys. We should be tough, able to fend
for ourselves. At least, that’s what the Initiative tells us.
It’s
stupid to fear a number.
But
I do.
I
do.
