The Underground League: Year One

Something is very wrong in Boston, Massachusetts. Too many teenagers are getting into freak accidents and too many are dying. Even more perplexing are the numbers of young people who should have died, but didn't.

Siblings Angie and Ashton Marche are two of the lucky ones who survive a horrific car accident without a mark on them. Their mother insists that their bodies were crushed and can't explain their quick recovery. They are just relieved to return to their uneventful lives, but they soon find that nothing about their lives is the same. They have alarming new powersand appetitesthat neither can explain.

Angie embarks on a quest to find out the truth about what is really happening, a journey that will lead her from a Boston hospital with some very unorthodox methods, to a shadowy secret society at Harvard, to the back alleys of New Orleans and an age-old curse. Along the way she meets a cast of characters who terrify and inspire her, who can create and destroy society, and are organizing something that will forever alter the country. As if this weren't enough to deal with, she is torn between a stranger with a questionable agenda that she can have no future with and a guy who seems perfect.

If Angie and Ashton are to survive the year they will need to find out what they have become and how to protect themselves from those who want them dead. All they know for sure is that the number of teenagers having accidents is increasing...and those who survive don't always come back the way they were supposed to.
