Jem Wilmont had a quiet, easy-going life. She roamed around Earth, working various jobs and indulging her curiosity about people and places. Occasionally, she stopped in to visit with an old friend.
That was before she's mutated by a horrible event that turns her world on its head. That was before she's forced to flee Earth to escape the predator who covets her new ability for his own gain. That was before she's afraid to have friends.
Jem has learned several painful lessons over the past months. Don't trust anyone and don't draw attention have become her two most important rules. Faced with an uncertain future, Jem forges a new life with dogged determination and a smidgen of luck...inasmuch as a fickle universe and a murderous stalker allows.
