Plague has taken half the population, and the remaining Lasters wait without hope for their genes to self-destruct. Only the elite Upper Circle can afford potentially life-prolonging Splicer treatments. For seventeen-year old identical twins Lucy and Margot Fox, though, the tests never end - yet no one seems to be ready to reveal what they are. When Margot disappears, a desperate Lucy has no choice but to put her faith in the Plague-resistant True Borns, led by the charismatic Nolan Storm and the beautiful but deadly Jared Price. As Lucy and the True Borns set out to rescue her sister, they stumble upon a vast conspiracy stretching from Dominion's street preachers to shady Russian tycoons. But why target the Fox sisters? As they say in Dominion, it's in the blood.
With her world in ashes and her twin sister Margot carried off to Russia, eighteen year-old Lucy Fox has no choice but to rely upon the kindness of her True Born friends. But Nolan Storm, mysterious leader of the True Borns, has his own agenda: by leveraging Lucy’s connections, he intends to infiltrate the powerful Upper Circle. When Storm backtracks on his promise to rescue Margot, Lucy takes her fate into her own hands. With the help of a new but mysterious friend, Alastair – and one spitting mad True Born bodyguard, Jared Price, who is his own world of complications – Lucy sets off for Russia, with its whispered rumours of Plague Cure.
Yet as Lucy and her friends arrive on the new shore, the trio discovers not all is as it appears…and discovering the secrets contained by the Fox sisters' blood before they wind up dead is just the beginning.
As they say in Dominion, sometimes it’s not who you are. It’s what.

If you can’t beat them, change them.
Lucy’s twin sister, Margot, may be safely back with her - but all is not well in Plague-ravaged Dominion City. The Watchers have come out of hiding, spreading chaos and death throughout the city, and suddenly Lucy finds herself under pressure to choose her future: does it lie with her handsome new friend Alastair; her guardian, the enigmatic True Born leader Nolan Storm; or the man who makes her heart trip, her savage True Born bodyguard Jared Price? But while Lucy ponders her path, fate has other plans. Betrayal is a cruel lesson, and the Fox sisters can hardly believe who is behind the plot against them. To survive this deadly game of politics, Lucy is forced to agree to a marriage of convenience. But is the DNA of her will stronger than the forces opposing her? Can she turn the tide against the oncoming storm?
As they say in Dominion, can rogue genes ever have a happy ending?
