Um þessa rafbók
A young girl has been born for one immortal purpose: to start a new race of humanity. However, is eternal life worth living if she can’t spend it with the one she loves?
“Pia may be the perfect antidote for those suffering from Katniss withdrawal.”—Josh Sundquist, author of the national bestseller Just Don’t Tell
“Captures the lush rhythms of the rainforest . . . Utterly refreshing.”—Kirkus Reviews
The jungle hides a girl who cannot die.
Pia has always known her destiny. She is meant to start a new race, a line of descendants who will bring an end to death. She has been bred for no other purpose, genetically engineered to be immortal and raised by a team of scientists in a secret compound hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest. Now those scientists have begun to challenge her, with the goal of training her to carry on their dangerous work.
For as long as she can remember, Pia’s greatest desire has been to fulfill their expectations. But on the night she turns seventeen, she finds a hole in the seemingly impenetrable fence that surrounds her sterile home. Free in the jungle for the first time in her life, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Unable to resist, she continues sneaking out to see him. As they fall in love, they begin to piece together the truth about Pia’s origin—a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever.
