Hex, a 13 year old with Xeno-Demonics (an extremely rare genetic mutation), struggles to fit in the the society of Quintessences, people with perfect DNA traits. He knows he should be in the Unbidden, people with mild DNA that only have a few flaws, or even the Deviants, people with imperfect DNA, but somehow, he was born from two Quintessence parents. With the Analysis, a DNA test to define which class you belong in, coming up, he knows he'll definitely be declassed. Not too bad, right? Wrong! For Unbidden life is tough and poor, most don't survive to their 30s, and for the Deviant, life is even worse. As a Deviant, you are forced to become a slave or die, whichever comes first. But, for Quintessences, life is a breeze being treated like royalty. Hex doesn't know what to do. His family and best friend might resent him if he fails the Analysis, not to mention, he could get killed. How is he going to get out of this one? • ~My entry for a writing contest at my library which won for my age category.All Rights Reserved
