Ability. Rank. Power. These are the things that define a person, determine who they are, what they're worth, and how much influence they have. At least, that's how it works in Quinley's world. The weak fall to the strong. Those in similar situations get along. And the strongest fight to become number one. All this depends on your ability, your natural-born power. The system is simple, easy to follow, and works well. Only one small problem,
Quinley refuses to use her ability, for any reason. That doesn't bode well with a world in which violence is praised, and peace is nonexistent. So how will this self-imposed nobody find her way through a sea of power-deprived peers who'll do anything to get to the top, even if it means demolishing one of their own?

Shadowfawn - The Hypnotic Girl
In a world where everyone is born with a unique power (a power that can be completely useless, like having your eyelashes lengthened by a few millimeters, or as astonishing as mind-reading), the winners, the ones rich and famous, are usually those blessed with the best abilities. But what if there were someone who could control others? Use all their powers for their own purposes? Cherry Gale is a country girl, seemingly like many others: she goes to school, has a crush on a boy in her class, has a slightly punk friend, and when she grows up, she wants to follow in the footsteps of her mother, who is her heroine and with whom she has a very deep relationship... but she has a secret. A secret that could change and upend the world. The problem for her is that she's not the only one with one. - A New Dark World saga book -Complete
