CHANNELERS

Astrid Hale is a Channeler. One of few humans with the innate talent to sense and transform energy. But in the emotionally unstable or unruly, it is a volatile, involuntary compulsion. Deemed too dangerous to live among mundane “Statics”, Astrid and others of her kind are restricted to isolation facilities known as Sanctuaries. Trained to suppress their nature, they are not permitted contact with the outside. And they can never leave.

Until mysterious men in uniform come to Sanctuary Endra to request the aid of its most disciplined Channeler for a perilous mission. Now, everything Astrid does bears the burden of lasting influence on her people. She may pave the way for Channelers to rejoin society. But her newfound freedom affords her unprecedented abilities, and should they overwhelm her she condemns her people to exile forever.

Beset with ambitious allies, unfamiliar emotions, and violent opposition, Astrid is about to discover exactly why everyone feared what Channelers might grow capable of if pushed.

Energy Specialist Hale is the shiny new toy of the Earthen Military Service and everyone’s favorite controversy. After months of training and demonstrations, a reunion with her team is on the horizon.

The Static Opposition is now the sole priority of Captain London and the Aldebaran. A duty to throw herself at the very people who want Astrid dead is one thing, but the Opposition’s methods prove malicious without the guidance of their founders.

When the Sanctuaries fall under attack, Astrid’s newfound responsibilities turn grave. Weighted with the suspicion she may be the reason behind these raids, Astrid grows isolated when her fellow Channelers look for someone to blame, and the emotional upheaval pushes her abilities to the next level.

Neither Rahna’s warnings, nor a growing affection for Ander, can distract her from her path now. And a race to rescue her people begins where Astrid never thought to return. Sanctuary Endra.

The growing conflict between the Aldebaran and the Static Opposition has spread the Channeler debate across the galaxy like wildfire. Astrid Hale has become a household name, and entire cities are choosing sides in the fight for Channeler Integration.

It’s time to let Specialist Hale out of her cage. Her team must move quickly, for the enemy grows faster than their list of allies. Astrid’s mission is to comb the Sanctuaries and any hiding place for Free Channelers, to recruit for the EMS and assemble the new Channeler Division.

But since the attacks over the last year, Statics are not the only ones skeptical of an alliance. Some Channelers seek a more extreme path, threatening everything Astrid is trying to build.

War is brewing. Behind Astrid, like-minded individuals must come together to stand against hate and fear. Her search takes her places she never thought to go, and to people she’d never thought to call friends.

Including someone she thought lost long ago.
