Perfection

In a world where Hitler won The War, and perfection is constantly sought, Ellyssa has broken free from her austere life and has found another meaning for her existence. Family, friendship, and love. But her happiness is short-lived. Ellyssa finds herself on the run again. Having destroyed her father's base of research and operations, she, Rein and Woody return to the resistance's cavern only to find that their friends have been slaughtered or sent to a concentration camp. Not only must they find the remaining members of their group, but Ellyssa discovers that her father's work lives on in her siblings, Aalexis and Xaver, and they are determined to complete his unfinished dream. Even if that means killing her in the process.

The personification of Aryan purity, Ellyssa's spent her whole life under her creator's strict training and guidance; her purpose is to eradicate inferior beings. She was genetically engineered to be the perfect soldier: strong, intelligent, unemotional, and telepathic. Only Ellyssa isn't perfect. Ellyssa feels emotions--a fact she's spent her life concealing. Until she encounters the epitome of inferiority: a dark-haired boy raised among renegades hiding since the Nazis won the war a century ago. He speaks to her telepathically, pushing thoughts into her mind, despite the impossibility of such a substandard person having psychic abilities. But he does. His unspoken words and visions of a place she's never visited make Ellyssa question her creator. Confused and afraid her secret will be discovered, Ellyssa runs away, embarking on a journey where she discovers there is more to her than perfection.
