Résumé traduit de l'anglais (donc approximatif)

En 2015, une race d'extraterrestre (Les Autres) ont conquis la Terre. Ils ont soumis l'humanité, non pas par la force, mais par un contrôle agressif transformant les humains en robot toujours satisfaits et sans raisonnement.

Sauf Althea, une jeune fille de 16 ans, qui n'est pas satisfaite du tout,et elle n'a pas besoin de la note dans son médaillon pour le lui rappeler qu'elle est quelque chose d'Autre. Il la met aussi en garde de ne faire confiance à personne, il faut qu'elle cache ce qui fait d'elle quelqu'un de différent, même lorsque qu'elle pense être seule.

Cet automne pourtant, elle rencontre Lucas et tout change.

Althea et Lucas sont immunisés envers ce contrôle d'esprit, et ensemble, ils en cherchent la raison. Ce qu'ils découvrent est une vérité étonnante que les Autres n'ont jamais anticipé, car l'un a le potentiel de libérer la race humaine de ce lavage de cerveau.

Ils ne savent pas ce qu'ils les rendent spéciaux et ce qu'ils sont est une menace.

Un des Autres est, d'ailleurs, bien déterminé à les éliminer pour de bon.

In the world of genetic mutation, Gypsy’s talent of knowing a person’s age of death is considered a failure. Her peers, the other Cavies, have powers that range from curdling a blood still in the vein to being able to overhear a conversation taking place three miles away, but when they’re taken from the sanctuary where they grew up and forced into the real world, Gypsy, with her all-but-invisible gift, is the one with the advantage.

The only one who’s safe, if the world finds out what they can do.

When the Cavies are attacked and inoculated with an unidentified virus, that illusion is shattered. Whatever was attached to the virus causes their abilities to change. Grow. In some cases, to escape their control.

Gypsy dreamed of normal high school, normal friends, a normal life, for years. Instead, the Cavies are sucked under a sea of government intrigue, weaponized genetic mutation, and crushing secrets that will reframe everything they’ve ever been told about how their "talents" came to be in the first place.

When they find out one of their own has been appropriated by the government, mistreated and forced to run dangerous missions, their desire for information becomes a pressing need. With only a series of guesses about their origins, the path to the truth becomes quickly littered with friends, enemies, and in the end, the Cavies ability to trust anyone at all

If you could learn the identity of your one true love—even though you will never meet— would you?

Years have passed since refugees from a ruined earth took to space, eventually settling a new system of planets. Science has not only made the leaps necessary to allow time travel, but the process engineered a strange side effect—predicting your one true love.

If you could save your one true love from an untimely death, would you be able to resist?

Sixteen-year-old Kaia Vespasian is an apprentice to the Historians—a group charged with using time travel to document the triumphs and failures of the past—and she can’t resist a peek at her long-dead soul mate in Ancient Egypt. Before she knows it, she’s broken every rule in the book, and the consequences of getting caught could destroy more than just her new romance.

Or would you have the strength to watch him die?

But when Kaia notices a fellow classmate snooping around in a time where he doesn’t belong, she suspects he has a secret of his own—and the conspiracy she uncovers could threaten the entire universe. If her experience has taught her anything, to changing history means facing the consequences. The Historians trained her to observe and record the past, but Kaia never guessed she might have to protect it— in a race across time to save her only chance at a future.
