OverviewIn a world where the high-tech Changers rule and the average person is expendable, Krystal Peterson was at the bottom of the bottom. Friendless, ugly, blemished and scarred, Krystal was a loner living on the street, destined to die young. She would have agreed to anything to change her miserable existence. When the Changers offered her redemption, good looks and immortality, Krystal made the deal of a lifetime. The assignment was easy: Infiltrate the Punks. Absorb a high-ranking commander. Life was good until she began to question her feelings for her target victim. Krystal found out forever is a long time when you're indebted to the Changers. Dion, the backbone of the Punks, has a monkey on his back the size of an AI mutant Chybrid. The elite Changers bring everything in their high-tech arsenal to the Perimeter Gate. With blurring loyalties and spies in his ranks, Dion must face the battle head-on--without Krystal and without his top field commander. Now, rejected by the Punks and banished by the Changers, Krystal must choose a side. She doesn't know she holds a winning hand that will bring her to new heights, scars and all. Before she finds that place inside herself, she finds a new depth of despair she had never seen. Fighting against all odds with a rag-tag group of misfits and society's rejects, the Punks hold the fate of civilization in their hands. Hang on for the ride! This high tension, fast paced story of redemption, the elite vs the oppressed and discovering self-worth, will have you turning pages deep into the night.
