Synopsis
**SECRET IDENTITIES.** **EXTRADORDINARY POWERS.** **SHE WANTS VENGEANCE.** **HE WANTS JUSTICE.** NEW FROM MARISSA MEYER, author of the #1 *New York Times*-bestselling series The Lunar Chronicles, comes a high-stakes world of adventure, passion, danger, and betrayal. The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies--humans with extraordinary abilities--who emerged from the ruins of a crumbled society and established peace and order where chaos reigned. As champions of justice, they remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone...except the villains they once overthrew. Nova has a reason to hate Renegades, and she is on a mission for vengeance. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice--and in Nova. But Nova's allegiance is to a villain who has the power to end them both. This description comes from the publisher.
