Tally has transformed from rumor to reality; she's now one of the 'Specials'—augmented beings designed to enforce conformity. As one of these elite enforcers engineered for perfection, Tally's tasked with the suppression of rebellion in a society where beauty is a commodity and identity is malleable. But lurking within her hyper-efficient existence is an echo of her past self, a spark that challenges the clarity of her programmed purpose. Faced with a mission to eliminate the New Smoke's insurrection permanently, Tally is tangled in a web of duty and remembrance. The decision before her is stark: embrace the ruthlessness of her modified nature or heed the faint drum of a heart that remembers humanity. Whatever her choice, it promises to redefine her world irrevocably.
