Awakening (Tankborn‪)‬

Before Kayla can free her fellow GENs from enslavement, she must save them from a deadly virus.

Once a lowly Chadi sector GEN girl terrified of her first job assignment, Kayla is now a valued member of the Kinship, a secret organization of GENs, lowborns, and trueborns who fight to further the cause of GEN freedom. But she is still a slave to the trueborn ruling class, and her relationship with trueborn Devak is still strictly forbidden.

Kayla longs to be truly free, but other priorities get in the way. A deadly new virus is sweeping through GEN sectors—a disease only GENs catch. And GEN warrens and warehouses are being bombed, with only the scrawled letters "F. H. E." as a clue: Freedom, Humanity, Equality.

In this sequel to Tankborn, freedom and love are put aside for a moment as Kayla and her friends find a way to stop the killing . . . before it's too late.
