\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nine-year-old Maya dreads living in the Habitation District with her new family. It\u2019s not the lack of video games or her shabby clothes, or even wondering if<\/em> she\u2019ll eat from day to day\u2014it\u2019s the giant target on her back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her ex-mother\u2019s offer of a truce scares her more than any threat the woman could have made. Both her new parents are former Special Operations soldiers, but even that provides little sense of safety. Barely a week goes by without an abduction attempt over her connection to Ascendant Pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After one such random attack, Maya discovers information that leads the Brigade to come up with a risky plan: use her unique combination of small size and large brain in an operation that could end the Ascendant threat for good. Hoping to peel the target off her back, Maya accepts the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Brigade friends assure her it\u2019s completely safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freakishly intelligent kids can do many things well, but commando raids aren\u2019t on the list. Her idealism leads to real bullets flying, crushing her hopes to live like a normal child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019ll be happy to live at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
