Jaxton's family has kept their secret for generations. Now the entire world is going to find out. Jaxton and his sister, Ella, consider their lives in danger when they are thrust into an effort to confront a deadly terrorist force. They only have one thing in their favor-- their super powers. Unfortunately, the terrorists have powers of their own, and they are lethal. The world is struck with fear in the wake of chaos, and a secret organization known as the Sanctum wants to assemble a special team to combat the terrorists. As they adjust to the world discovering the fact that people have superpowers, Jaxton and Ella find themselves competing against each other and other powered people for a spot on the response team. So much pressure is put on making the team; they are warned they won't be safe if they don't. Jaxton's loyalties, morals, and personal limits are called into question as he begins to prepare for battle. He begins to wonder if he and his sister can be the heroes the world needs. As Jaxton and Ella struggle to keep their identities concealed from the public, make the team, and stay alive, they find themselves in the middle of a deadly plot bigger than the draft, the response team, the terrorism, and the Sanctum combined.
