The Posion Of Nightshade

Amiere lived her whole life believing herself to be unwanted. Abandoned at birth, the only time she was accepted was when she was pretending to be something she wasn't. But she is willing to live this way. Why? To fulfill her only goal: To survive.

That is, until she discovers she's not human. Well, not exactly. She carries a rare gene called the Reneg Gene, something completely unknown to the human world. The people with this gene call themselves the Quinali, and have existed since the dawn of time. Other than taking a X-Ray scan of the heart, where the Reneg Gene is located, the only other way to identify them is by their stomachs. More specifically, their bellybutton. Or should I say lack of one. The Quinali have no bellybuttons, instead they have what would seem to be a tattoo of some type of plant in place of it, and they have it right from the moment they come out of their mother's body.

However, Amiere was never supposed to discover this world.
