BLURB:

 

Forced into the shadows while waging war on an oppressive regime intent on controlling those born with unnatural powers, the Resistance feels like a family. And although all families harbour secrets, theirs are world-shattering.

When Ava Moore foresees the death of her sister Brooklyn and Resistance leader Parker Quinn is forced to appear in a televised trial accused of murder, the web of lies begins to unravel. For not only is Resistance’s second-in-command, Jay Frazer, fighting a guerrilla battle with deadly consequences, he’s also trying to bury his deep-seated love for Parker.

With Parker and Jay temporarily out of the picture, double-agent Trent Reese is left responsible for leading the Resistance. Trent is willing to adapt his moral code to any situation, but what—or whom—does he believe in? As for innocent Ava, who’s plagued by unsettling visions, it’s becoming clear that everyone she loves is in peril. Given, however, that Parker is concealing a mighty gift of his own, one that could change the entire course of the rebellion, the future of the all-seeing state is on the line too.

When the web of secrets is untangled, who will survive?

Excerpt One:

 

Or maybe I need to mourn for my best friend. The teenager I once met that was always angry and who grew up to be a perpetual frowner. The man who always stood by my side and trusted me enough to put me on the helm of an organisation that was more inclined to follow him. The man who helped me raise Ava, the three of us trapped in a two-by-two room for years. His room before it became only mine. He took us in and never complained.

 

Mourn the man who taught me how to fight, who laughed his ass off when my first punch ended with a broken finger, and who, once I healed, corrected my stance and told me to do it again. The man whose fiancé I got killed, but, still, the worst thing he did was cry in my arms.

 

But, most of all, maybe I need to mourn for the lost chances. The gazes that—stubbornly—never lingered. The touches that never came, and the ones that did, but never became anything more. The thoughts that were never spoken out loud…The reassurances that were never given…The promises that I never dared to make…The words that were only spoken once, but got shot down so quickly they never dared to make a reappearance.
