Echo is just that, an echo of the person she wants to be. Living in a world full of people who are "gifted" does not ease her tension about her powers. She is further separated from the surrounding world by being labeled "Gifted", with a capital 'g'. Of course, the surrounding world has no idea that Echo is anything different. Things start to change, however, when another "Gifted" shows up and enrolls at her high school. Echo is forced to face her powers, and this new boy, while trying to figure out who is sabotaging the Power Games. Will Echo remain just an echo of herself?

Echos cause a ripple effect when other people hear them, just like words and rumours do. Sometimes they're hard to ignore, and one can be tempted to say something back, to let someone else hear their echo, but, it's not always the right thing to do. Even echos have consequences. Those seemingly innocent shouts of triumph can be mistaken for something much, much darker. Just ask Rune Knight, he knows all about the repercussions of echos. (This is in the book cover) If only I could have you back for just a little while, then we could sit and talk again, just like we used to.Complete
