He shouldn’t-he couldn’t just leave him there like that. He sucked in a sharp breath and hitched his father’s body out of the chair. “It’s okay,” Noam said, knowing his dad couldn’t hear him. The world undulated around them both in watery waves. His head lolled forward, and there was a bloody patch on his lap, yellow electricity flickering over the stain. His father, when Noam managed to weave his way back to his side, had fallen unconscious. Magic festered in his veins, ready to consume him whole. He stood there for a second, staring woozily at the mess while sirens shrieked in his ears. But then he meets the minister’s son-cruel, dangerous, and achingly beautiful-and the way forward becomes less clear.Ĭaught between his purpose and his heart, Noam must decide who he can trust and how far he’s willing to go in pursuit of the greater good.
Sensing a way to make change, Noam accepts the minister’s offer to teach him the science behind his magic, secretly planning to use it against the government. The son of undocumented immigrants, Noam has spent his life fighting for the rights of refugees fleeing magical outbreaks-refugees Carolinia routinely deports with vicious efficiency. His ability to control technology attracts the attention of the minister of defense and thrusts him into the magical elite of the nation of Carolinia. In the former United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up in a hospital bed, the sole survivor of the viral magic that killed his family and made him a technopath.
