The Reckoning

by Kelley Armstrong

First published 2010

Chloe Saunders is fifteen and wants nothing more than an ordinary life. Instead, she finds herself on the run from a ruthless corporation determined to eliminate her and her friends. The company created Chloe through genetic experiments, turning her into a necromancer who raises rotting corpses without meaning to. Her companions include two brothers who complicate her already chaotic world. One is a werewolf with an antisocial streak who draws her interest despite the danger. The other is a sorcerer with a gentler nature. As the corporation closes in, Chloe must navigate her deadly abilities while sorting through her feelings for the werewolf brother. Her supernatural powers mark her as anything but normal, and the enemies pursuing them want to make sure she never gets the chance to find peace. Between corporate assassins and uncontrollable necromancy, Chloe discovers that survival means embracing the very abilities that separate her from the ordinary life she craves.
