In a world where the slightest edge can mean the difference between
success and failure, Leisha Camden is beautiful, extraordinarily
intelligent ... and one of an ever-growing number of human beings who
have been genetically modified to never require sleep.
Once considered interesting anomalies, now Leisha and the other
"Sleepless" are outcasts -- victims of blind hatred, political
repression, and shocking mob violence meant to drive them from human
society ... and, ultimately, from Earth itself.
But Leisha Camden has chosen to remain behind in a world that envies and
fears her "gift" -- a world marked for destruction in a devastating
conspiracy of freedom ... and revenge.
