HALCYON HOLLOW

In a city where everyone has a superpower, hers is the only one nobody wants.In Halcyon, your Aspect decides everything - your rank, your worth, your future. Fly, freeze, crush steel with your bare hands, and the city has a place for you. Rynna Calder can only hear what people are thinking. No one has ever called that a gift.Then a summons arrives from the Director's office, and Ryn's careful, invisible life falls apart. Something is wrong beneath Halcyon's perfect peace - a groove worn smooth into people's minds, a fear reshaped into gratitude, a truth nobody's allowed to say out loud. And her twelve-year-old brother, proud and Vanguard-bound, is about to be folded into it.With a fugitive ex-Authority Hearer as her only guide, Ryn learns that her "useless" power might be the one thing in the entire city that can't be controlled, bought, or silenced - and that the man running Halcyon has spent thirty years making sure no one else ever finds that out.To save her brother, Ryn will have to become exactly what she's always been told she could never be: dangerous.Some powers make you strong. Hers makes you impossible to lie to.
