Seven of our country’s most gifted teens will become Nobels, hosts for the minds of dying geniuses known as Mentors. Scientists have created an evolved form of living known as Merged Consciousness, and Lake, the Nobel for Chemistry, and Orfyn, the Nobel for Art, are among the inaugural class. But when Stryker, the Nobel for Peace, makes them question the scientists behind the program, the Nobels’ world starts to unravel. As the Mentors begin to take over their minds, Lake and Orfyn must find a way to regain control before they lose all semblance of their true selves.
