She fears for her best friend’s life since lawmakers have drafted legislation declaring chimeras as nonpersons. As she tries to locate him, Jimi meets other chimeras, confronts devious individuals, and risks her own life. What will happen to the chimeras she befriends? Will she find Del before he turns into a chimera? Will their friendship survive all the turmoil?
