Rain is the perfect killing machine. She lacks emotion and is superhuman in almost every way. Me? I'm just Cassie, tagging along for the ride. I'm a normal person caught up in Rain's plan to free everyone on Earth from the clutches of World Corp. You'd think we'd be welcomed as heroes. Not so much. No one knows that World Corp has complete control over them... nor do they know about the rebellion that's starting. And let's face it... they're better off not knowing.

January 1, 2015. The day that the world changed forever. Following the aftermath of a deadly nuclear war between the United States and China, an odd airborne pathogen is discovered. Scientist scramble to uncover what this virus does and find that it is a virus like no other. Once the virus starts to attack your body, you have exactly one year to live. A cure can't be found and the virus is spreading like wildfire. People are still recuperating from the nuclear war and find that there is nothing they can do to stop the virus. I was diagnosed with having the virus on January 1, 2015. My birthday was on the first and so I had just turned eighteen. What a birthday present, getting such a deadly disease, or could it somehow turn into a good thing? One year to live. I had the virus.
