Description

Two teenagers fight for their place in a world where everybody has powers—and the fate of humanity may be in their hands—in this original superhero series.

On July 6, 1963, human history was forever altered. From the depths of space, a golden wave of light bathed everyone on Earth in rays that rendered them unconscious. Six days later, five billion people awakened with superpowers. For thirty-seven years now, superhumanity has managed to keep the peace. With some exceptions . . .

Matt Callaghan is a clairvoyant. Unfortunately, his uncanny talent for predicting the future has more to do with observation and psychology (read: lying) than actual superpowers. About to graduate from Northridge High, he still hasn’t developed any special abilities. And if the authorities discover the truth, Matt can safely predict he’ll be locked up as a scientific curiosity.

Jane Walker is an Empath, feared and hated for her ability to assume other people’s powers by touching them. Expelled from various high schools for fighting bullies with a dazzling array of formidable abilities of their own, she’s determined to prove her worth and join the legendary Legion of Heroes.

Tasked with employing his “clairvoyance” to monitor his new classmate, Matt must juggle protecting his secret inability and keeping Jane and his friends from killing each other. And when the Legion of Heroes offers Matt a place in their academy, his attempt to play off the organization’s history backfires into Jane getting accepted as well.  

As Matt bluffs his way through evaluation and Jane battles for her very life, the pair will soon learn the Legion’s true agenda is far from altruistic—and even farther from heroic . . .

The first volume of the hit alternate-history series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

This book was amazing. I just loved it from the start. I got this book because I loved the cover. The simplicity of it drew me in. I'm not a big reader of sci-fi books as its difficult to find ones that I like because I'm autistic and they have to have logic. Yet this one worked so well it was fantastic. I loved the fact it had teenage characters as it is aimed at 15 to 18 yr old. With all the super powers it was so much fun this lead to the book being a real page turner. I loved the characters and how they had to deal with everyday problems. Especially coping with being different from others and getting bullied. I was so engrossed in this book that I lost track of time and finished it in one day. This is a very thrilling story line with a medium to fast pace and was so interesting that it kept my interest throughout. This author is definitely one to watch out for as the writing style was brilliant and flowed seamlessly. I really can't recommend this book enough to both adult and teenage sci-fi fans. I just know you are going to love it just as much as I did. I am actually hoping there is a sequel. 

Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such a magnificent story that was a fantastic roller coaster ride. I just can't wait to read more.
