Tessa has finally come to terms with her life as Variation. She and her longtime flame Alec are officially a couple, and for the first time, she has everything she wants. But the atmosphere at FEA headquarters is tense. The agent has disappeared, and the culprit is most likely the rogue organization Abel's Army. When Tessa is called on her second mission, she unexpectedly finds herself embroiled in a massive conspiracy. Her best friend Holly is kidnapped and Tessa knows it was meant for her. But who is hunting for her? And more importantly, why? When the FEA's efforts to save Holly fail, Tessa takes matters into her own hands. Desperate to save her friend and uncover the secret of Abel's Army, Tessa begins her own investigation, but nothing can prepare her for what she discovers. Gathering all her courage and strength, Tessa must decide who she can trust and what is worth fighting for. Translation by Cora Reilly.
