Not all monsters are beasts. The government's secret transformation of beasts-subhuman creatures made from humans with powers-means that the Community's utopian ideals of safety and security are lies. Thanks to a high-ranking telepath, nineteen-year-old Jenna Nickleson knows what it's like to go through one of those transformations. During a mission for the rebellion, the telepath cursed her with false ٢memory seeds٣ that attack her mind with horrifying visions of being turned into a beast. If Jenna ever wants to see the Community be secure, she needs to figure out how to end the transformations, remove the government making her cherished Community a front for a nightmare, and get those memory seeds out of her head before she loses herself.
