Imagine the second you're born, a consultant removes you from your mother's grasp and runs a battery of genetic and physiological tests on you. Thirty minutes later they give you a score out of one hundred which denotes your level of perfection. If your score is above eighty and you work hard to maintain that score you will have a charmed life; well fed, well-rewarded, spoiled. But fall below eighty and you're labelled Flawed, and life will not be so kind. Hannah is adopted by a Flawed family when her birth parents choose their social standing over their daughter and endures a life of struggle, hunger and service. One day Hannah is escorted to the regional government office and told that the Consultant who delivered her, who labelled her Flawed got it wrong! Now, she is being relocated back to her birth parents, to live as one of the Ninety-Five- all medically and legally judged as perfect. Entering this new life Hannah has an impossible decision to make which puts not only hers, but the lives of everyone she cares about at great risk.

Butcher or be butchered. Survive, if you can. Those are the new rules. Life hadn't always been like this. I was happy once. Before my life crumbled before my eyes. Before I found out their secrets and lies. FALSEHOOD NUMBER ONE: Helion is my hometown. The truth? My hometown never existed. FALSEHOOD NUMBER TWO: I am a clone. The real truth? I wasn't born in a petri dish, I wasn't made from science. Somewhere out in this big, terrible world hide a father and mother I've never known. FALSEHOOD NUMBER 3: Everyone will go back to our true home, the dying city of Xaro. The awful reality? Not everyone makes it back, you have to survive the 90 days first. And very few make it back from that hell alive. WARNING, CONTAINS MATURE MATERIAL *Cover picture by Toni Hooper* **UPDATES EVERY WEEK**
