In a world where Cloning has taken over Mina Hart is Blemished. She is different. But can she save young girls from the Operation?
Mina Hart lives alone with her Father in Area 14 the East District of England controlled by the Government. She is Blemished – the last generation of children conceived without cloning – and her genes count for nothing. The Blemished don’t talk back, they don’t fight or stand up for themselves – but Mina has different ideas about that…
In the near future Cloning has taken over Britain. What began as an experiment to find cures for human disease has turned into a market where parents chose genes to clone their children. What was meant to be a breakthrough in science has become a beauty contest in a land where men rule and women are neutered. In this world Mina Hart was conceived naturally. She is Blemished. She is among the last generation of teenagers born before the Operation was introduced.
Mina is a second class citizen in Area 14 but she is not willing to go down without a fight. Mina is different and with her small team of friends Mina comes to terms with her extra-sensory gift and searches for the freedom to chose.
