John Slater is top of his class at The Academy, but thatâs not the only thing that sets him apart from the rest of the cadets. Heâs an anomaly; something not quite human. He may not know exactly what he is, but heâs sure of what he wants.
Getting out on the field solidifies in his mind; heâs doing what he was always meant to do. But when he meets the intriguing Claudia Belle after heâs sent to Milton High to track down Project X and the Source, his priorities shift and he's ready to demolish the pedestal heâs built his life upon. The only thing that matters is her safety and this mysterious connection between them.
Claudia is like nothing heâs ever encountered. Like him, she doesnât quite fit into a box. They feed off each otherâs strengths, but everything is conspiring against them. Johnâs guardian, Joseph, is doing everything in his power to keep the duo at armâs length. The real danger, however, lies in the darkness that wants to consume Claudia.
Can John uncover the truth of their connection? Will he be able to discover whatâs motivating Project X, or will he die trying?
