The Hierarchy of Souls

Charlie Maddison can see the future, but that's hardly the most impressive thing about him. He's a Soul, an exceptional child of the gods and a force of nature destined to change the land of Highpearion, for better or worse. As a premier member of The Hierarchy of Souls and its organizational efforts to handle and train these forces of nature, he's done his best to serve as a good example for the young Soul Damian he mentors, as well as the world at large.

But now it will take more than just good posturing and moral statements from Charlie to hold his world together. A catastrophic explosion strikes his state capital of the Municipality, and it's a disaster of his own kind's making. Only a fellow Soul could shake the city with this power, and enemy factions are closing in on all sides in the aftermath to seize power. Charlie will have to shoulder responsibility for his shortcomings and put everything he has into bringing his city back from the brink.
