The year is 2109 and Mutants, as we know it, are strictly forbidden. Driven out and hated by society, slaughtered until their numbers represent that of an endangered species. Launching of the Pure Bloods program five years ago was like a beacon to the common people. Trained, ruthless and clean--the core traits that every Pure Blood needs to assassinate Mutants. They're nothing short of guardian angels placed on the highest pedestal society has to offer. A shame that none of them caught whiff of the corruption before it was too late. Before anyone knew it, the Pure Bloods went rogue and seized the world with their power. No one can overrule them. Not the government. Not a single person in the world. Except for me, Nellie King. An annexed Pure Blood... and a Mutant on the run. #OpenNovellaContest

Since she was born, she has had the strange ability to sense buried things. Cursed to, she would say. From lost keys buried by overexcited dogs to dinosaur bones from the Jurassic period, Maya can find anything, anytime. An abrupt invitation to a potential site near Aztec ruins then pulls Maya to Isla Cozumel, just off of the coast of the mainland. But there's something off about the eerie vegetation and crumbled temples. Something sinister, festering and impatient. The ancient warning texts are enough to unnerve her. Worse, the jade snake that haunts her dreams has begun to leak into the real world. For the first time, Maya has found something that she shouldn't have.
