Ascendant

Life is hard in the People's Republic of America, an oppressed and brutalized nation under constant surveillance. A troublemaker at heart, teenager Michael Cairne clashes with the dictator's police force one night and accidentally discovers he has telepathic powers that can kill.
Now, a secret police force is hunting Michael. He escapes thanks to the help of a rebel leader with mysterious ties to Michael's birth in a government lab. This uniquely talented fighter used to train telepaths to be the ultimate weapons—and now he must train Michael to be so much more.
Brought to a secret hideout in the mountains of what used to be Colorado, Michael struggles to fit in with other gifted, psychic teens. But he must also battle his dark side, a ruthless "shadow self" implanted in his brain during the government experiment that created him.
This mindless part of him craves justice, revenge, and power. His relationship with two sisters—one a healer, the other a liar—will test everything he is made of and show Michael the power of love and hate to change the world. Because the ultimate battle is coming, and it will test everything Michael is made of.
