About This Book
Born in 2008, Leisha Camden is beautiful, extraordinarily intelligent ... and one of an ever-growing number of human beings who have been genetically modified to never require sleep.
Once she and "her kind" were considered interesting anomalies. Now they are outcasts victims of blind hatred, political repression and shocking mob violence meant to drive the "Sleepless" from human society ... and, ultimately, from the Earth itself.
But Leisha Camden has chosen to remain behind in a world that envies and fears her "gift"--a world marked for destruction in a devastating conspiracy of freedom ... and revenge.
