Warner should be dead. Just one touch from Juliette should have been enough to kill him. But his mysterious immunity to her lethal superpower leaves her wondering why her powers failed her in front of the man who poses the greatest threat to her.

She and Adam barely manage to escape from his clutches. They discover the hideout of the rebels and people like her. People with gifts.

Juliette is now free from the New Government, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, free to love Adam. But she will never be free from her deadly touch. She will never be truly free as long as she feels Warner's breath on her. The time has come for her to stand up against the New Government and try to rebuild her shattered world.
