More than five hundred years after the apocalypse, the survivors of off-grid genetic experimentation have refined their mixed DNA to the point that humans and their animal counterparts share physical and mental links. Varying species have divided into districts, living in a tenuous peace under the President of Calem.
Ardana and her tiger ingenium Rijan leave their life of exile and abuse in the Outskirts, setting out with their twin brothers to redeem themselves and become citizens of the Center. But shedding their past isn’t as easy as they had hoped. When the system that shunned them becomes embroiled in political conflict and treachery, their unique abilities and experiences from the Outskirts make them invaluable to every faction. The runaways become pawns to friends as well as enemies, and with every step it becomes more difficult to tell which is which. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11668482-perception
The first question Heather asks at the end of her book is: As human beings, we rarely see ourselves as others see us. How do you think your perception of your self would change if you had an ingenium to see yourself through? Do you think it would matter? Does the unconditional love of each character's ingenium for their companions skew their view as well? Having wonderful unconditional friends and family, who have honest unconditional love for us, helps us see our selves at our best and worst, thereby giving us opportunities to improve and make accurate decisions. Heather has a unique ability to teach us this and many other principles through her book full of creative entertainment.
Thank you Heather for being a dear friend!!
