In a desperate war, the temptation to use any weapon is irresistible. Ryelle Soliere, a telenetic with the ability to move objects with her mind, is either the Fleet's most powerful weapon or their greatest downfall in the war against the GenTec. She is the strongest telenetic to ever come out of the Institute, frightening even her own kind with the extent of her talent. Raised in isolation and taught strict control, Ryelle boards the flagship of the Fleet determined to prove her worth in battle and her obedience to the Institute. Until she meets Declan McCrae. With his open, trusting friendship and his sweet, compelling seduction, he reveals a world she's never seen and changes her beliefs about herself and her abilities. Feeling Ryelle slipping their control, the Institute sets out to teach the pair the price of love and war. Ryelle and Declan must discover if their future holds victory, or if there is no such thing as peace.
