A divided society and a dangerous plan

In this first volume, a society begins reopening the Dome gates to bring genetically engineered people back into wider society, on the condition that their powers stay suppressed. Hacker Ryleigh Stevens has a role in the integration initiative, but she also intends to undermine its second phase and prevent another Universal Tech War. Her plan depends on an alliance with a Powered enemy she holds responsible for her brother’s death. The setup brings questions of power, social reintegration, loyalty, and the difficult choices made in pursuit of the common good into a young adult Christian science-fiction story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in science fiction with Christian subject matter
  • Readers drawn to stories about hackers, engineered abilities, and social reintegration

Book overview

What they don't see will hurt them.

The day to open the centuries-old Dome gates and reintegrate genetically engineered people back into normal society has arrived. There's one caveat--their powers must remain suppressed.

Amidst this Project Integration Initiative, hacker Ryleigh Stevens has her whole life planned out. The plan? Prevent a second Universal Tech War in two simple steps. First, help Project Integration Phase One succeed--but not for the reason she pretends. Next, infiltrate the rebellion and sabotage Phase Two--the part that would grant people unbridled access to their superhuman abilities.

Too bad the one person who can make her plan reality is her sworn enemy. He's dangerous. He's Powered. And he's the reason her brother is dead. Faced with an impossible choice, Ryleigh must decide how to do what's right for the good of all humanity, even if it means sacrificing everything she holds dear--again.
