Through Shadows And Heartbeats | Volume 1 Of WIC
John Harrow knows what it feels like when something is wrong with the world. He just doesn't know why he is the one noticing it.
It begins with a runaway truck, four strangers who suddenly develop impossible abilities, and John walking away without a scratch. Sera bends shadows. Miko commands electricity. Cass freezes whatever he touches. Tessa sees things before they happen. John gets nothing.
Or so he thinks.
Their mysterious guide, Aruchuti, tells John that surviving the crash was not luck. His lack of a power is the reason he was chosen.
John wants to return to his ordinary life. Instead, his reflection starts moving when he doesn't. Messages appear in his own handwriting. The others begin experiencing impossible disturbances of their own, hearing words they never said and finding signs that something has followed them home.
Then Ethan Voss arrives.
He knows who they are. He knows what frightens them. And he knows Aruchuti has done this before.
There were five before them.
Aruchuti refuses to say what happened to them.
Ethan does not.
He has one question for John: if the others were chosen for what they can do, why was John chosen without a power at all?
Because whatever brought the five of them together has happened before.
And this time, something about John is different.
Something Aruchuti never intended them to find out.
