Young Adult

I am tired of being used, hurt and cast aside. 

Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever, marked by a jagged scar where her left eye once was.  Branded as a malfetto – an abomination – she is cast out from all she has ever known and loved. 

Adelina finds sanctuary with other malfettos and discovers that the disease has left her with more than just a scar – she has a mysterious and powerful gift. 

She is a Young Elite. 

But Adelina's ability is stronger than any Young Elite before her.  And unless she can control the vengeful darkness growing in her heart Adelina could be a danger to them all. 

It is my turn to use.  My turn to hurt.
