Emotions are the spark of life. Except for when they smother it.
After Lucky Island is exposed, Ben and Jemma Hodgerton know life can’t resume the way it was. With Ben’s energy power gone, his anger comes quick and fierce. Meanwhile, Jemma struggles with the consequences of her powers, leading her to view Enertin in a new way.
Her brother, Asher, is on parole after his crimes, keeping him from true freedom. But none of that matters when he gets a mysterious note luring him back to Lucky Island. Quill, on the other hand, yearns to discover who she is as a person instead of an experiment. Learning about her mother may be the key.
When the Seven Republics resist changes to their protocol for Disparate care, Buran and his team travel to convince the others of the success of therapy and support. Jemma is proof that controlling emotions is possible.
Except… Jemma has a secret. It seems Enertin-and its increased risk of dangerous outbursts-may have its place.
The fate of Disparates lies in her hands, including those of the ones she loves.
