In a world full of danger, who can you trust?

Ever since she woke up in the hospital with her memory erased, Kyla has been different from other Slateds, questioning things she shouldn’t. And now something has cracked open inside her: Fragments of memories show she’s capable of violence, and might have done anything before she was Slated.

Kyla longs to find out what happened to her Slated friend Ben, but the Lorders won’t hand over the information she so desperately wants without a price. Caught in the middle of a tug-of-war between dangerous adversaries, Kyla must work out where she stands before it is too late. In a world that seeks to control her, every move is a gamble, and nothing—not even her own memories—can be trusted.

In the first book of this suspenseful, emotionally charged thriller series, a young girl struggles to reclaim her identity and find her place in a world determined to erase her past.

Can you know the truth if your memory has been erased?

Kyla has been Slated—her memory erased, her personality wiped blank. This is the government’s way of dealing with teen terrorists: give them a fresh start as a new person. They teach Kyla how to walk and talk again, give her a new identity and a new family, and tell her to be grateful for this second chance.

It’s also her last chance, and to ensure that she plays by their rules, Kyla is fitted with a Levo, a bracelet that monitors her mood and will stun—or even kill—her if her levels of anger or violence rise too high.

As she adjusts to her new life, Kyla can see she is different from other Slateds. She asks too many questions and is plagued by nightmares that feel like memories—even though she shouldn’t have memories. Who is she, really? Has her Slating gone wrong? And if only criminals are Slated, why are innocent people disappearing? Torn between the need to understand more and her instinct for self-preservation, Kyla knows a dangerous game is being played with her life, and she’s determined not to let anyone see her make the wrong move. . . .
