"Special Circumstances": Ever since she was a repulsive, rebellious ugly, Tally has shuddered at the mention of it. Specials were a dark legend back then, shockingly gorgeous, dangerously powerful, and incredibly quick. It's possible for ordinary beauties to go their whole lives without encountering a Special. However, Tally has never been typical.
She's now been transformed into one of them, a supercharged combat machine designed to keep the pretties foolish and the ugly people at bay.
Tally feels that her mind is more focused, powerful, and quick than anything she can recall. In most cases, yes. A little part of her heart still holds memories of something greater.
It's still simple to ignore that, however, until Tally offers to put an end to the New Smoke rebels once and for all. There is only one last decision to be made: listen to her little, weak heartbeat or fulfill her goal as instructed by her programming. Tally's world will never be the same in any case.
