Ciere, a teenage career criminal with the ability to create illusions, lives in a dystopian future where a vaccine gone wrong created a feared minority of people with superpowers. Her latest job pulls her and her Dickensian gang of misfit allies into a power struggle involving the future of the vaccine. Innovative world-building and a scrappy protagonist strengthen this high-stakes caper.
