CIONA was the FUTURE. She was chosen
to save society from a deadly disease. Now her life means NOTHING
The TATTOO on Fiona's right hand has changed EVERYTHING. Once a sign of the CURE for the bee flu virus, in this barren world it brands her a violent BEAST; each of its ten lines warning others of her strength.
