Discover this internationally bestselling, National Book Award-winning young adult classic about what it means to be human with an updated, reimagined cover! Matt Alacran wasn’t born. He was harvested.

His DNA came from El Patron, the drug-lord ruler of the country of Opium. Most people hate and fear clones like Matt–except for El Patron. El Patron loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.

As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, and realizes escape is his only chance to survive. But escape from the Alacran Estate is no guarantee of freedom.
