The Counsel had been in session for weeks. They were trying to make one of their
biggest decisions yet - what to do with the baby found in the woods. She was left there,
hanging in a basket from a tree branch, with only one indication of who she was - a slip of
paper that read Nova.
Normally, an abandoned baby would not go to the highest authorities. Normally, the
baby would just be put into foster care, or adopted out. But this girl was different. She was
stronger than the rest of the children her age. She was smarter. And her arrival had been
predicted decades ago.
Growing up in a world where everybody had a powerful ability wasn't easy for
anybody. They all had to learn to control their powers from a young age, and somehow keep
it under control for every moment of the rest of their lives. Keeping everyone's power in
check was the only was there could be peace.
Which was why Nova scared them.
She had more power than she thought, nobody knew just how strong she could
become. If she ever reached her potential, they wouldn't be able to keep her in line. She
could become a dangerous weapon. They could not take her out of her confinement area,
they could not risk her becoming stronger. She grew tired of it.
But when the door to her locked room opened in the middle of the night, revealing a
boy with a mischievous look on his face, her life began anew.
