The Ingenious, and the Colour of Life: unlocking their genius, also unlocked the unimaginable... (The Ingenious Trilogy Book 1)

Book Synopsis: ** Kindle ebook reduced **From a beguiling new voice in YA science fiction/contemporary fantasy comes an astonishing novel about a group of mysterious young adults with the power to change lives...Ever since teenager Milly Bythaway can remember, she’s had to hide who she really is – dumbing down an extraordinary genius in order to blend into the background. And young Tai Jones, a boy abandoned by his mother and forced to live as a homeless wanderer on the streets of London, soon realises that he has a special gift: he can see thoughts and emotions of others in stunningly beautiful colours. A gift that is both wonderful and awful.

When the teenagers are brought together by a mysterious old scientist for their own safety, they are told of a common and forgotten past. One of secret experiments, and a missing family that they yearn to find. But they soon hear of the disappearance of another child, and are faced with an impossible dilemma - to save themselves, they must risk their very sanity.

In the end, the children must work together, unleashing the full force of their abilities in an epic battle of the world's greatest minds.

The Ingenious and the Colour of Life is J.Y. Sam’s beautiful, sad, and heart-rending debut – a story that explores the fragility of human nature, with a dash of science, culture, and the animal/natural world.

With hints of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, can scientific genetic experimentation really create the perfect child...?LIMITED OFFER: ebook now on sale - reduced to 0.99
