We, the Monsters

For twenty years, Jameson Valentine has ruled the broken East—part dictator, part chemist, part savior. His empire of twenty-four states thrives on his obsession with perfection: the flawless Quirtrict, the engineered PureTychs, and the discarded Rogue. Everyone must fit, or they fall. Carmen Aledrave never fit. Born to parents who defied Valentine’s first serum, she was forced under the knife, her body twisted into “perfection” by machines. For seventeen years, she has lived under the illusion of belonging. But when the government strips her of her rank and casts her into Rogue status, Carmen discovers the truth Valentine has buried—about the serums, about the monsters he made, and about herself. You can’t hide a mechanical eye no matter how hard you try. Now, hunted by a system that creates monsters and calls them human, Carmen must decide: will she remain a victim of Valentine’s perfection, or will she become the kind of monster that fights back?
