Seer
When Clare Palmer accepts a scholarship to attend Evergreen, she thinks she's escaping her insane, estranged father, while also getting the chance to go to the school her late mother graduated from. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a scientifically-enhanced, combat-obsessed society called the Corasha who view her as a dangerous outsider. Clare views herself as an outsider, too. Unwilling to accept the outrageous claims of those around her, she's ready to get out of Evergreen at the first opportunity, until unwanted and unstable visible abilities begin to surface, confirming she's a Seer, a biological anomaly that's both prized and guarded by the Corasha. The only person who knows about her phasing is Kade, the attractive yet infuriating mentor she's now indebted to, but trusting him comes with a price her heart might not be willing to pay. Surrounded by dangerous secrets and hidden agendas, Clare must figure out who she can trust-and fast, because there's a war coming, and the last thing she wants is to become a weapon in the wrong hands.Complete
