I have a curse.
I have a gift.

 

I'm a monster. 
I'm more than human.

 

My touch is lethal.
My touch is power.

 

I am their weapon.
I will fight back.

 

No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon. But Juliette has plans of her own. After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time—and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.
