In which two people, from opposite worlds, come to understand that love might be the only thing stranger than this. She wasn't born with a name. Just a letter. 00X. Five years ago, she escaped Hawkins Lab and disappeared. Now, she's sixteen, hiding in plain sight - just another quiet girl at Hawkins High, sleeves pulled down, secrets locked tight. But when a boy vanishes without a trace and the lights start to flicker, Dianna Maltsev feels something she thought she buried: power. The more she feels, the more dangerous she becomes. And someone at school - someone she shouldn't get close to - is starting to see through her silence. They made her a weapon. Now they'll learn what happens when it aims back.
