Improved

Lai Mansen is an imp, or a genetically improved human, one of four owned by the genetic technician Felix Mansen. She has a standard appearance, a standard job, and a standard family...but something has always been a little off about her, a little different from the norm. While most imps are completely devoted to their work, she'd rather read old-fashioned books, write fairy tales, and play her keyboard than focus on her career. It's been ten years since she was created, and people are starting to worry about her. Then the Imps Liberation Group -- an anti-human organization hellbent on turning the order of imps and humans upside-down -- attacks a nearby settlement. Suddenly, Lai's quirkiness is the least of anyone's worries.

As a volunteer army called the Uniters joins the fight to put the ILG back in their place, a bizarre mystery starts to unravel. It all comes down to one mysterious name: Pandora Amity, an alleged human/imp hybrid who disappeared long ago. The battle continues, and then Lai learns the truth about the ILG...and about herself. And now, no matter what she does, things will never be the same again...
