in your life, have you ever experienced an abrupt burst of willpower? A clarity that surged into existence seemingly out of nowhere? Have you ever experienced a sudden rush of energy walking through nature-seeing life brimming all around?
Have you ever stood in the tall grass-the sun beating down-and came to think of it all? Just everything?
A subconscious part of your mind telling you something, as if saying, 'It's time to begin.'

Reese Connolly is an extraordinary individual. From walking through walls to hearing conversations across buildings to disintegrating items between her fingertips, she doesn't know the limits of her body.
Yet she's also young, inexperienced, and isolated. She has trouble connecting with others on a personal basis, and developing friendships is a constant struggle for her. After all, how is it possible to stay confident when your only talent changes, slips away, and evades you when you need it the most?
Reese also has a problem: someone has dirt on her. This person, who is someone her age, seems to want to use the knowledge of her abilities-despite being scattered and deeply unreliable-to benefit themselves. The scariest part about it is that she doesn't know this person at all.
At the start of it all-an adventure to find her true limits-she really only has one question on her mind:
'Why me?'

26 parts Complete

Seventeen-year-old Lucy Owens is struggling. It's been two years since the death of her parents, but she just can't seem to get a handle on life without them. After her Aunt moved Lucy and her twin brother, Jared to a new town, Lucy thought that maybe things would get better - and they did, for the most part, but her crippling anxiety and the constant feeling that she just doesn't quite fit in have left her in a rut. That is, until two new families move into town. With their arrival comes the unveiling of a family secret that will change Lucy's world, forever. She is an Empath - the strongest and most powerful her family has seen in generations. Now she must learn to harness her new-found power, overcome her anxiety, and find the strength to lead her group of friends as they embark on a journey to return their families to the place they really belong. Their true home - Eleos. Will Lucy have the courage to take on the role of a leader? Or will her fear win the battle, costing not only her life, but the lives of those she loves most? This is a story about friendship and family, and the simple truth that sometimes, all the strength you need is in the hearts of those that stand beside you.
