My touch is lethal. My touch is power.
I have a curse. I have a gift.
I am a monster. I am more than human.
I am their weapon. I will fight back.
Juliet hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days. Her touch is toxic and lethal. All her life she has done nothing but try to behave quietly, to stay on the sidelines so as not to hurt people.
An entire world is collapsing…
Diseases are ravaging the population, food has become scarce, birds no longer fly, and the clouds are the wrong color.
No one cares about the seventeen-year-old girl. She remains in a cage by the decision of the New Government.
But now that more and more people are dying and the survivors are talking about war, the New Government is reconsidering: Maybe Juliet is more than a tormented soul in a poisonous body. Maybe she is exactly what they need at this moment.
Juliet is called to make a choice: To be the weapon. Or the warrior.
«All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart».
