Description

In 2012, one cycle of an ancient calendar system came to a close. Humanity predicted its downfall, but it wasn't the end of their evolutionary climb. It was the beginning.

Willow Kent is discovering that life as a second-phase prodigy comes at a price. Trapped in the London Core, her choices are limited, made difficult by her forbidden romance with Reece and the presence of a new commanding officer who establishes harsh rules. With unpredictable skills and a growing distrust in her birth parents, she is struggling to play the Core's game. But when opportunity arises in the form of a mysterious shapeshifter, Willow realizes there's more to her own evolution than meets the eye. She soon learns that keeping secrets is a key move, and the more dangerous they are, the greater her need to evolve into the powerful prodigy nature intended her to become.

But those closest to her have their own secrets, and her status has made her an easy target for betrayal. Who will she turn to, when nothing is as it seems?

A Note From the Publisher

Mimic, the second book in The Prodigy Chronicles series, continues Willow's journey from village girl to elite Core prodigy. There's plenty of background from Gambit (Book 1) scattered throughout the pages, so you should easily be able to follow the story. To bring you up to speed: Gambit carried the theme of sacrifice. Willow's decision to protect her village came at great cost, shattering her "butterfly" innocence and dreams for the future. Mimic moves her into transformation, into the world of the "tiger"—where intuition, alliances, and quantum physics work together to reveal the truth of her underlying strengths.

Advance Praise

Denault (Gambit, 2015) continues to offer three-dimensional worldbuilding in this series installment, including richly detailed clothing and combat and plenty of asides that conjure up the future culture...full of dramatic episodes...An often appealing series continuation with a well-thought-out world and strong characters. —Kirkus Reviews

From political maneuvering to complicated personal relationships, Mimic is every bit as enthralling as Gambit was, expertly building on the foundation of book one while leaving us all waiting with bated breath for book three. —Kisa Whipkey, Editorial Director at REUTS Publications

In this sequel to Gambit, Willow Kent's journey is even more harrowing . . . her life gets more complicated with every turn of the page. The twists and turns are heart wrenching! Mimic is brilliant! —Rita Agenstein, Rita's Reviews

Denault's style of writing is so descriptive that you feel like you are right in the story with Willow, feeling every blow and every emotion. Mimic kept me on the edge of my seat with the plot twists and turns, and I especially enjoyed the martial arts! I can see this as a movie on the big screen as the next Divergent or Hunger Games! —Master Trina Pellegrini - Founder - Unafraid Women / President - Defensive Services International, Inc.

Exciting. Terrifying. Brilliant. Mimic is an outstanding novel that resembles the game of minds and without a doubt, a game that the readers need to look forward to. Because we are no longer reading a book. We are reading a masterpiece. —Rafael, The Royal Polar Bear Reads
