"...but I am a box full of misfit toys, and even I keep finding ones I've forgotten about." A 'scientific mistake', Differents are anything but perfect and spend their life trying to change who they are to be Normal. No one disagrees, no one falters, because if you do, you're never seen again. 9412, a girl of seventeen, never questioned her life but always wondered what it would be like if she hadn't had a genetic mutation, causing her to be as she is.

When Arden stumbles across a half-conscious, bloodied girl at his local train station, he doesn't know what to think. But once she tells him what happened to her, he gains a whole new perception of his world. Arden lives in pretty much the perfect setting. His family loves him, his future job is tailored to suit his talents, and he has a promising future with his girlfriend. He never intended for things to unravel when he finds a half-conscious girl in a pool of blood stowed away on a cargo train -- he just wanted to help her. But once she wakes up, he gets a lot more than he bargained for. She tells him a story of risk-taking, of discoveries. Of adventure, hope, and sadness. She seems to have more questions than answers. Answers he can't give her. But there's one thing Arden does realize: His superiors are hiding things from him. Things that could be their downfall. nor·mal /ˈnôrməl/ adjective conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected. Copyright © 2020 by @mel10rism This is the sequel to "The Differents".

'No society can escape from the claws of human nature - no matter how built up it becomes, it will never be perfect.' - Unknown Eighteen years ago, a rebellion upset the balance of nature, and led to an outpouring of chaos magic across the city of Zeia. A Black Winter seized the land. Now, many years later, the city has recovered. In fact, it is perfect. Uniform streets, identical houses, rigid rules. Everyone is happy, their emotions numbed by pills and their safety held in the palms of those in charge. Mavis is sick of safe. Freedom is all she longs for, deep-rooted in a promise she made years ago. However, after a failed escape attempt, she is banished from Zeia and sent to work in the 'Wastelands', a place of labour and despair. All seems impossible, but she makes the choice to keep striving for freedom. Whatever it takes. Cyrus doesn't care all that much for freedom. Cursed with a heart disease he can't treat for fear of being marked as 'imperfect', all he desires is to keep his younger sister, Alice, (who is much sicker than him) safe. He works in the city's guard, forced into the position by his power-hungry father. His only motivation is the payments he is given by the man, medication that always goes straight to his sister. Now, a year later, Cyrus navigates his position, peace feeling more and more faraway with each day. One night, he catches a girl trying to escape from the city and as a reward, he and his team are given an daunting opportunity. One he finds he cannot refuse.
