Flawed

     Imagine for a moment if Lord of the Flies and Hunger Games fused and was ripe with intrigue, adventure and fervent hope for a better future. At 134,000 words, FLAWED is the first book of a series that centers on the most genetically engineered teenagers ever created on future Earth, who, underneath their sun-drenched perfection, possess a fatal genetic flaw-a hidden propensity for sudden violence. This defect led them to be contained on the utopian island of Ilsanda in the first place. While it's the only home they've ever known-replete with tropical beaches, lush dense jungles, air-bungalows, decadent feasts and attractive adolescents galore!- they are reared by the strict Elders who conceal their true nature and the real world beyond Ilsanda's shores. Lucky for the Elders, most of the teens lack the same vital trait: curiosity.

     Ethan may not be as athletic or good-looking as many of his peers-in fact, some might call him ordinary-but he may be the most curious of them all. Once Ethan and his friends uncover a book that reveals the truth of their fatal flaw, their lives are thrown in immediate jeopardy. Ethan must confront his peers' increasing violence and the elders' suffocating control, all while keeping a secret that would surely have them end up dead or worse, in the corrections facility "hole".
