Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life. He was wrong. Now he's trapped in a school that's surrounded by a razor-wire fence, where video cameras monitor his every move—and where breaking the rules equals death. All Benson wants is to find a way out. But when he stumbles upon the real secret the school has been hiding, he realizes that escape may be impossible.
All of your questions will be answered in this pulse-pounding sequel to Variant, which Publishers Weekly described as a chilling, masterful debut in a starred review. Benson escaped from Maxfield Academy's deadly rules and brutal gangs. The worst was over. Or so he thought. But now he and Becky are trapped on the other side of the wall, in a different kind of prison. A town filled with familiar faces. Students from Maxfield who Benson had seen die. Friends he was afraid he had killed. They soon learn that they are all pawns in a twisted experiment, held captive and controlled by an unseen force. And while Benson struggles to figure out who, if anyone, can be trusted, he discovers that Maxfield Academy's plans are more sinister than anything he imagined and they may be impossible to stop.
