In a dystopian world ravaged by authoritarian rule and fear, 17‑year‑old Juliette Ferrars lives in isolation because her touch is lethal, a curse she believes defines her. Locked away for months, Juliette's life changes when she discovers that her power might be more than a burden — it could be a key to resistance against The Reestablishment. As she confronts her own trauma, questions of identity, love, and what it means to be human arise. With intense psychological depth and lyrical prose, the novel explores a young woman's journey from self‑loathing and fear toward empowerment and defiance against a world that seeks to control her.
