Necessaries keep the farms running. Unwanteds are set for elimination.

Everything Alex has ever known changes before his eyes, and it's a wondrous transformation. But it's a rare, unique occurrence for twins to be divided between Wanted and Unwanted, and as Alex and Aaron's bond stretches across their separation, a threat arises for the survival of Artim ťhat will pit brother against brother in an ultimate, magical battle
