Redemption

The hunted have become the hunters. Cleo finally has the freedom that she's always craved, but it's come at a terrible price-the Program wants to terminate the Deviant Dozen and now she and her friends are on the run. To make matters worse, she's finally learned to use her deviation-except when she's around Ozzy. Even an innocent touch or kiss can cause her skills to spiral out of control. He's the last person she'd ever want to hurt, but he's also the one in the most danger if she can't learn to master her skills and emotions. Ozzy's duty has always been to protect the Dozen, but now he must make the difficult choice between laying low to stay safe or starting an all-out war so that the Dozen can truly be free. He knows that if they have any chance of outsmarting the Program, they'll have to look for help in unlikely places-even if that means trusting their enemies. Rune and the Others have always been anonymous, hiding in the shadows as they carried out acts of terror and revenge. That all changed the moment the Program discovered they existed. To survive, Rune and the Others will be forced to make an alliance that is just as likely to kill them as it is to save them. Program officials are determined to erase their mistakes, but when they terrorize innocent civilians and Sophisticates in an effort to flush out the Dozen, they discover a harsh truth-the weapons they created are fighting back.
