From the coauthor of the New York Times bestselling Illuminae Files
comes the first book in a new series that's part Romeo and Juliet,
part Terminator, and all adrenaline.
On an island junkyard beneath a sky that glows with radiation, a deadly
secret lies buried in the scrap. Seventeen-year-old Eve isn't looking
for trouble--she's too busy looking over her shoulder. The robot
gladiator she spent months building has been reduced to a smoking wreck,
she's on the local gangster's wanted list, and the only thing keeping
her grandpa alive is the money she just lost to the bookies. Worst of
all, she's discovered she can somehow destroy machines with the power of
her mind, and a bunch of puritanical fanatics are building a coffin her
size because of it. If she's ever had a worse day, Eve can't remember
it. The problem is, Eve has had a worse day--one that lingers in her
nightmares and the cybernetic implant where her memories used to be. Her
discovery of a handsome android named Ezekiel--called a Lifelike because
they resemble humans--will bring her world crashing down and make her
question whether her entire life is a lie. With her best friend Lemon
Fresh and her robotic sidekick Cricket in tow, Eve will trek across
deserts of glass, battle unkillable bots, and infiltrate towering
megacities to save the ones she loves...and learn the truth about the
bloody secrets of her past.
