Skinned: The First of a New Trilogy
The first of the Skinned Trilogy
In this thrilling new trilogy, author Robin Wasserman introduces us to Lia Kahn. Lia has everything girls her age dreams of having-beauty, a neverending cash flow, and the heart of every guy that looks her way. Life is perfect for Lia Kahn. That is, until a freak accident nearly kills her.
When Lia wakes up, she isn't exactly "Lia". She has been downloaded into a synthetic body with perfect blonde hair and blue eyes, her memories and personality transferred onto a computer chip that is now her brain. She has become a "skinner", one of the many outcasts of society who have shed their bodies for something immortal. After this drastic attempt to save her life, Lia will never age, or even feel pain again.
Lia can't even truly die. Settling back into her old life proves difficult. Her friends have moved on, her family cringes at the sight of her, and even her boyfriend rejects and betrays her. Lia is forced to take refuge with the very skinners she shunned, and starts a new life, leaving Lia Kahn and the world she knew behind.
Robin Wesserman is the beloved author of the Seven Deadly Sins series, and has pleased her fans by diving into the world of sci-fi. A mix between the Uglies Series and the strangest of science fiction, Robin has created a new genre all her own. Scott Westerfeld calls her work "a spellbinding story about loss, rebirth, and finding out who we really are inside."
The next installment in the trilogy, Crashed, is due to come out September 2009.
