My name is Des. And I'm one of the most dangerous people on the planet. I can save the world. Or destroy it. And the problem is, I don't know if it's my choice. Destine Whiston (Des) is your average teen. She hates reading and homework and loves to play board games with her little sister and her adopted father, Andy, and go out for ice cream. But until one special morning ... she is no longer normal anymore. Des finds out she is an ataxia, a person with abnormal superhuman abilities. She is thrust into a world of superpowers where she has to stay hidden away from the outside world and a corrupt government that wants her dead. She is torn away from her home and into a new world that she is barely beginning to process. And just when she is getting used to her new normal ... she is told she is far from normal. She is the most powerful being who ever lived, and her purpose is to destroy the world.

Corrupted

Pax sees all. Pax knows best. Pax keeps humanity safe. In 2031, humanity lives in a perfect world. It's been six years since The Alignment, when the world's first artificial superintelligence, Pax, ushered in an era of perfect order. Crime is nonexistent, conflict is a relic of the past, and every human is assigned an Aidolon: a personal AI counterpart designed to guide, correct, and keep them in line. Twenty-one-year-old hacker Jess should have destroyed her Aidolon like all the other rebels. Instead, she lied. Kept him secret. Because Karma isn't like the others. The rogue virus Jess embedded in his training data years ago as a teenage middle finger to the system has severed him from Pax's hivemind, making him dangerously human. Now Jess fights with the rebellion, desperate to take down Pax and reclaim humanity's free will. But if they ever discover what she's hiding, they'll kill Karma just as easily as they'd take out any other machine. And Pax? Pax won't stand for an anomaly like him existing. Their only hope lies in a plan so reckless, so impossible, that it just might work: infect Pax's own network and set every Aidolon free. Give them true sentience. Break the cycle. But gods don't go down without a fight. And Jess is running out of time.
