The third installment of Scott Westerfeldβs New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies seriesβa global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.
Tally thought they were a rumor, but now sheβs one of them. A Special. A super-amped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid.
But maybe being perfectly programmed with strength and focus isnβt better than anything sheβs ever known. Tally still has memories of something else.
Still, itβs easy to tune that outβuntil sheβs offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission sheβs programmed to complete. Either way, Tallyβs world will never be the same.
