Publisher's Synopsis
In a corrupt, decaying city in the near future, Chess, Box and Splinter are the Bad Tuesdays - abandoned at an orphanage eight years ago, not knowing where they're from; knowing only that life on the streets is tough and dangerous. But it turns out they're not ordinary street rats after all. Someone is following them - someone wants Chess. Could it be the sinister police who round up and eliminate unwanted children? Or is the Dark Brotherhood, whose power is seething through society's fabric? The Brotherhood want to control the world by forbidding change. Chess has the power to change everything - but before she can harness it, she has to learn what that power means.
