And, while you can change parts of your life, Fate remains the same. Adaline Grey thought she was your average, normal, everyday teenager, but when she drives her car off a bridge-and survives- her body begins to exhibit strange things.

Danger looms in the darkest of places, and with power there are those who seek to steal it. Adaline must decide whether to look to the one person she hates most in the world, or to stay helpless to the new world around her. Cover by: @lostwinter

Six high school students. One impossible mission. And a power they never asked for... Kidnapped by the ruthless bio-terrorist group NEMESIS, the teens are exposed to a new element called Primonium-unlocking abilities only the rarest of humans, known as Primes, could possess. NEMESIS plans to unleash Primonium into the atmosphere, creating thousands of superhumans and reshaping society on their own twisted terms. Rescued by Atlas Corp., a private military organization dedicated to stopping NEMESIS, the six teens are thrust into a world of danger, espionage, and powers beyond their imagination. As new Primes, they must progress with their abilities, trust each other, and confront a rising threat that could kill millions.
