Джас Аккардо - циклы книг | Бумажные издания

Until he met Dez, Kale’s days were filled with violence and death. He was used as a weapon of destruction by the power hungry men of Denazen. He’s a Six. A person with an abnormal ability. Some people call them gifts, but not Kale. Kale’s touch means instant death.

But now there’s Dez, the girl he can touch, and they’re hunting down Sixes and warning them about Denazen. Kale is learning about the world outside captivity and trying to put his dark past behind him. But they underestimated how badly Denazen wanted him back.

When Dez sacrifices herself to save the new Six they’d rescued from falling into the corp’s hands, Kale is lost. Denazen has brought out its best to get the job done. Samsen, a nightmare from Kale’s past—the only person he’s ever truly feared—has come for them, and it soon becomes obvious he has his own twisted agenda.

Kale will need all his training to get Dez back and ensure they make it out, free—and alive. But will it be enough?

When a Six saved Kale's life the night of Sumrun, she warned there would be consequences. A trade-off. Something taken for the life they gained. But Dez never imagined she'd lose the one thing she'd give anything to keep... And as if it's not enough Dez finds her immunity to Kale fading, the Six brought in to help Kale learn to control his killer touch starts drooling on him the moment they meet. Worse than that? Jade can touch Kale. But bimbo Barbie is the least of Dez's problems.

After Dez and Kale got away at Sumrun, her father lost not only his most powerful weapon but an important piece of the Supremacy project. Forced by Denazen to remedy the situation, he poisons Dez and offers her a choice--surrender to Denazen for the cure...or die. Determined to find a solution that doesn't involve being bagged and tagged--or losing someone she loves--Dez keeps the poison a secret. But when a rash of Denazen attacks hit a little too close to home, Dez is convinced there's a traitor among them. Jade.

Sacrifices, broken promises, and secrets. Dez will have to lay it all on the line if there's any hope of proving Jade's guilt before they all end up Residents of Denazen. Or worse, dead...

Во время одного из бурных ночных похождений прямо под ноги Дез сваливается странный парень, и она радостно понимает: боги дали ей шанс как следует позлить папочку! Надо только привести этого красавчика домой – и пусть родитель, вернувшись с работы, лопнет от собственных воплей.
Только вот Кейл на самом деле очень странный. Отправился под душ прямо в обуви, удивляется обычным вещам вроде пепельницы или персика и ведет себя с Дез так, словно она может превратиться в горстку пепла от одного его прикосновения. Когда на пороге возникает отец с пистолетом в руке, явно знающий о Кейле больше, чем следует, Дез понимает: все куда опаснее и запутаннее, чем она могла себе представить.
Таинственная организация, которая превращает в сверхмощное оружие людей, наделенных сверхспособностями; вооруженные преследователи и секретные общества, жестокая правда о семье Дез, о ней самой и о Кейле – слишком крутой поворот даже для семнадцатилетней оторвы. Но это – только начало ее пути.
