Molly Moon es una niña huérfana, como todos los niños que viven en el horrible orfanato Hardwick House. Pero Molly es diferente: es fea y delgaducha, y sólo tiene un amigo, Rocky. El resto de los niños la odian y se meten con ella. Incluso la señorita Adderstone, la directora del orfanato, y la cocinera, Edna, siempre la están castigando. El único sitio donde Molly es mínimamente feliz es en la biblioteca, donde se pasa las horas muertas leyendo. Un día, discute con su amigo Rocky, y se refugia en la biblioteca, donde descubre un libro de hipnotismo. Un tal profesor Nockman, del museo de Chicago, parece estar muy interesado en ese libro, a tenor de la regañina que echa a la bibliotecaria por haberlo perdido. Molly se sale con la suya y roba el libro. A partir de ese día decide que su vida va a cambiar.

Kuklo had spent his entire life in cages, feared and hated as "the Titan's son." Then he met Sharle Inocencio, a young girl who defied her father and brother to care for and educate the abused boy in secret -- and plot his escape from the dungeon, and her escape from her betrothal. But the night they've dreamed of brings new horrors with it, and Kuklo becomes obsessed with proving that he is not the monster everyone has always assumed him to be. That means meeting a Titan for himself, in person ...!

Logan Ramsay is about to get the brain he always dreamed of. But will he be transformed into something more than human… or something less? When the SWAT team gives the all-clear and Logan Ramsay steps into the basement, he has no idea that everything's about to change. Then there's the hiss of aerosol. The explosion. The shrapnel that punctures his hazmat gear. Logan wakes up to find himself in a hospital bed, attended by doctors in their own hazmat suits, his wife and daughter looking on from behind the glass. The doctors say he's been infected by a virus - one designed not to make him sick, but to modify his very genetic structure. In a world where the next-generation gene-editing tool known as Scythe is widely available - and has already reaped disastrous consequences - the possibilities are too many and terrifying to count. Except that after the fever, the pain, the fear... the virus is gone. And according to his government bosses, Logan's got a clean bill of health. But the truth is that with each day that passes, Logan's getting smarter. Seeing things more clearly. He's realizing that he's been upgraded in ways that go beyond even Scythe's capabilities - and that he's been given these abilities for a reason. Because a holy grail of genetic engineering - one that could change our very definitions of humanity - has just been unearthed. And now it's up to him to stop it from falling into the wrong hands. Logan’s becoming something more. Something better. Even with the whole world hunting for him, he might be able to outthink his opponents and win the war that’s coming. But what if it’s at the cost of being himself?
