A bombing exposes the truth about manifestors, ordinary people with extraordinary abilities. Overnight, Rebecca is branded a domestic terrorist.
Federal agencies, private mercenaries, and black-market collectors are all hunting her. She has one advantage. She understands the system built to capture people like her, because she helped build it.
On the run through rain-soaked cities and surveillance-heavy streets, Rebecca has to stay invisible while her latent powers grow stronger and harder to control. Every flickering light and electronic glitch risks giving away where she is. And someone is always watching.
As rival factions close in, including a ruthless collector willing to pay millions for her, Rebecca faces an impossible choice. Trust an underground network that's offering sanctuary. Disappear across an international border. Or keep running until her magic destroys her, or everyone around her.
In this world, magic isn't mystical. It's classified, controlled, and lethal.
Some powers are meant to stay buried. Rebecca's already too late.
A fast urban fantasy thriller novella of hidden magic, government conspiracies, and a heroine on the run.
