It is the eve of Jamie's serum tournament-the event that will transform her into a formidable, seven-foot-tall, super-Human Morrok. Jamie and her brother have been raised and trained since infancy to lead the Morroks, and they have the fighting skills, practice in deception, and capacity for malice to do it. The only problem? Jamie doesn't want to take the serum. Although Jamie is resigned to her fate, the sudden appearance of someone from her past opens up a world of possibilities Jamie never would've dreamed existed. Jamie knows that choosing anything outside the Morroks will mean death or a life on the run, leaving her brother to fend for himself among jealous Morrok leaders who would sooner cut his throat than follow him. As pressure ramps up from all sides, Jamie must choose: Leave the only life she's known for the possibility of love, friendship, and even budding romance? Or save her brother and become perhaps the most powerful Morrok the world has ever seen?
