Fourteen-year-old Sophie Taylor is used to being overlooked.
She keeps quiet, avoids attention and expects people to leave before they get the chance to matter. Then a routine visit to the orthodontist changes everything.
Because the black metal now fixed to her teeth is not just a set of braces.
Something is alive inside them.
An ancient artificial intelligence, created to reshape stars and alter the laws of physics, has survived a catastrophic crash by integrating itself with Sophie. It understands gravity, dimensions and the hidden structures of the universe.
But for V people are more difficult.
Now Sophie has a voice in her head that can explain the impossible, misunderstand almost everything human and may be connected to a mission that could change Earth forever.
As governments search for whatever fell from the sky, Sophie and the intelligence she names V must learn to trust each other.
V can move stars.
Sophie is trying to survive school.
Neither of them realises how much they are about to change the other.
Big science. Human heart. One very unusual set of braces.
Brace for it.
