Instead of choosing the good guy, I chose the bad guy. Instead of warding off the enemy, I moved in with him. And I thought the purpose of fear was to prevent you from doing stupid things. Gaia must decide whether she should call in the C.I.A. when she discovers an evil business empire plans to sell anti-fear drugs to the U.S. Army.

With Gaia's graduation from high school, Pascal's best-selling series comes to an end...only to be reborn again. Can you feel the fear? Gaia learned what it's like to feel fear - and it wasn't pretty. Now, just in time for her last few weeks of high school, she's back to her normal, fearless self. Unfortunately, everything else is far from normal. An evil business empire is trying to manufacture and sell anti-fear drugs to U.S. Army soldiers. Gaia wants to call in the CIA, but it's risky: It means playing by a whole new set of rules.

Back when I was fearless, it went like this: Gaia meets boy. Gaia falls in love with boy. Boy gets hurt. Now that I feel fear, it goes like this: Gaia meets boy. Gaia falls in love with boy. Boy gets hurt. Some things never change.

Now that she's "normal", Gaia knows that typical adolescent angst is one thing, but not going into a dark, deserted park late at night - that's just common sense. "Normal" girls know not to do that. Gaia had better learn that fact - fast.
