“My name is Reyna. People like me are called ghosts. I exist outside the system.” Reina and her mother are forced to hide from the government: those with bad genes have no place among the ideal citizens of the country. The only chance to survive is to remain invisible where thousands of eyes are watching you. Colliding with young Lark on the street, the girl realizes that she doesn’t want to hide anymore. Having violated the main rule of survival and revealed her secret to another, Reyna is doomed to death. And only on the verge of death does she manage to learn the incredible: she is not at all who she thought she was. Now Reina has the opportunity to change not only her life, but also the fate of the entire country. But she only has one try.
