Description

"I have had a powerful weapon at my fingertips my whole life, but I'm finally learning to wield it. I feel unstoppable."

When Juneau's clan disappeared, she lost more than her friends and family; she lost her entire world. She discovered her life was a lieher people weren't living in the wilderness because they were the sole survivors of a nuclear war. They were in hiding, hoping no one would find them and learn their secret: they never get sick, they hardly age, and they have the power to communicate with nature.

Juneau is closer than ever to finding them, and she couldn't have gotten this far without Miles. Although he originally pursued her with the goal of turning her over to his father, he has become her greatest ally. Even as an outsider, Miles has helped Juneau realize she is far more powerful than she'd ever believed.

But now the same people who took Juneau's clan are after her too. Somehow she is the key to unlocking the mystery of her people's gifts. To rescue her clan and protect their secrets, Juneau must push past the boundaries of what she was taught, to discover what she is truly capable of.
