The third installment of Scott Westerfeldâs New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies seriesâa global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.
Tally thought they were a rumor, but now sheâs one of them. A Special. A super-amped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid.
But maybe being perfectly programmed with strength and focus isnât better than anything sheâs ever known. Tally still has memories of something else.
Still, itâs easy to tune that outâuntil sheâs offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission sheâs programmed to complete. Either way, Tallyâs world will never be the same.
