You know Ava Cobalt, you know Syntec, but do you know this whole new world? In a world where Syntec, the bio-tech company of hell, has been dead for nearly a decade, and the land is dictated by cruel (yet incredibly dumbass material), Culgru. 16 year old Ava, having way too many things on her plate per usual, is trying to remain hidden from Culgru, while protecting her 12 year old best friend and accomplice, Cierra. However, there's always someone trying to make Ava's life more difficult, and that someone is Xavier Rokoff. Once best friends, now enemies, Xavier is hunting Ava day and night to bring her back to his leader, Culgru. And Ava's main goal, other than not getting captured, is getting to Freedom. A place, a city, for the people who were set free from Syntec. The 'lab rats', but Freedom has welcomed in normal humans too. Anyone who truly wants away from Culgru's grip. Only problem? Freedom is next to impossible to find. But, Ava, stubborn as a mule, plans on finding it, one way or another. Oh, did I mention? Ava's pregnant.
