dystopian fiction

In a future world, a teen named Leora, who hopes to become a tattooist, must face dark secrets from her family's past in order to move forward into her own happy future.

Desperate to save her boyfriend, James, from The Equality Team, Cody seeks assistance from a radical named Kai, leader of a shadowy rebel group, who has a secret, dangerous plan.

We are not all created equal. Seventeen years ago, Cody and her boyfriend James were two of the lucky babies from 1% of the population randomly selected to receive genetic engineering. Known as the "Ones," this generation of genetically enhanced teenagers is excelling. Cody, James, and their fellow Ones are healthy, beautiful, talented...and to some, that's not fair. Mounting fear and jealousy of the Ones' success leads to the creation of the Equality Movement, which quickly gains enough traction to outlaw future genetic engineering--and demote the Ones to second-class citizens. Cody anticipated the repercussions even before the brick smashed through her window. It bears a clear message: the darkest impulses of society have been unleashed, and the Ones are the targets. As their school, the government, and even family and friends turn against them, Cody begins to believe they have no other choice but to protect their own. She draws closer to a group of radical Ones led by the passionate and fevered Kai, and James begins to question just how far she is willing to go to fight for her rights...
