A mysterious night. Four extraordinary teens. One destiny they never asked for. Russ Becker never understood why he couldn’t sleep, not until a blaze of light tore open the night sky and changed everything. Suddenly, the kid who wandered the streets to quiet his restless mind is seeing the world with impossible clarity, and doing things no normal teen should be able to do. He soon discovers he’s not alone. Mallory is the first to cross his path—brilliant, fiercely determined, and now able to bend minds with a single thought. Jameson arrives like a storm, bold and unyielding, his willpower strong enough to move objects as if the world obeys him. Then there’s Nadia, quiet yet resilient, whose empathic gift lets her absorb the hearts of others as though they were her own. And Russ, caught between confusion and responsibility, becomes the reluctant anchor tying them all together, even as his own abilities grow into something he’s not certain he can control. Different in every possible way, they should have remained strangers. But fate has other plans. When a threat rises that only they can sense, the four must decide: Do they stand together? Or do they break apart and let the world fall with them? Bound by a shared mystery, drawn into danger they don’t yet understand, they’re forced to trust each other before their powers turn from a gift… into a curse.
