****With a headstrong heroine on par with Katniss Everdeen and Tris
Prior (Kirkus) this debut thriller combines a pulse-pounding scifi
thriller with a new adult coming-of-age story set at Texas A&M
University.
When Ren Sharpe was fourteen, she was kidnapped by a shadowy
organization called FATE and trained to be a human weapon.
Now, four years later, she receives her assignment: protect Gareth Young
at all costs. Currently a student at Texas A&M, Gareth will someday
change the world. FATE calls people like Gareth "FIPs"--future important
people--and they're everywhere, each with a FATE-trained shadow.
But when disaster strikes, Ren will have to turn on her maker. Together
with Junie, a fellow abductee and the one person she trusts, Ren takes
Gareth on the run.
Because whatever else happens, failure is not an option.
