Not all minds are meant to be unleashed...
In the People’s Republic of America, life is a nightmare of constant surveillance and oppression. Teenager Michael Cairne is a natural troublemaker with a dangerous side-hustle working the black market to support his family.
During a clash with the police, he discovers telepathic powers and his family is killed. Now, the dictator’s forces are hunting him down. But a mysterious rebel leader with ties to Michael’s birth in a military lab rescues him, revealing a shocking truth—he once trained telepaths to be living weapons.
Now, he must prepare the teen for something greater. Whisked away to a rebel base hidden in the mountains, Michael struggles to find his place among other gifted teens. But he faces an even greater challenge within—a ruthless “shadow self” implanted by the government experiment that created him, hungry for justice, revenge, and power.
Michael’s troubled relationship with two sisters—one a gentle healer, the other a manipulator—pushes him to the edge, forcing him to confront the power of love and hate to twist a person’s soul.
As a deadly psychic assassin closes in, Michael must face his greatest fear: himself. The ultimate battle is coming, and he must use his dangerously unstable power to save his nation—or ensure the destruction of everything he believes in.
