Ciara Jacobsen was abandoned at age 2. She doesn't remember anything about her past. The life she knows is led by Dr. Luka Perkins, a life filled with laboratories, science, and being a test subject.
She undergoes many tests and experiments, and they have never permanently affected her, because of a serum called X9a3Re, which is able to cure most effects of any experiment. But when the serum goes missing, along with Dr. Perkins, Ciara is forced to live like a monster, until she can find the cure.
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
