Summary
When an outbreak that kills off half the population of the countries children spreads, it is not the children who die the government is afraid of; it is the ones who live. And Regulus just so happens to be one of them.
Green, Blue, Yellow, Red, Orange. That's what they are now, a color on a scale, a number on a chart. Regulus may have survived the strange, brutal disease that passed through him, but something much worse has burrowed beneath his skin. Now, the children who have lived through the illness have developed strange abilities - ones they cannot control; ones the President fears. Regulus is taken from his home and locked inside a camp, Azkaban, where he must work to live and live to work. Without his brother, Regulus navigates life locked within this hell, and hiding the fact he's one of the dangerous ones the government had long since been rid of.
When he is broken out the camp a decade into making his life there, he must see if he can find his way around the outside world. It just so happens, though, that the DEA's lied to them, and there ARE other people like him living in the wild. That's where he meets a strange boy with much too much joy for their circumstances
