For two and a half years, Subject 684 --- "Jane Doe" --- has been
locked underground in a secret government facility, enduring tests
and torture. In that time, she hasn't uttered a single word. Not
even her real name. Jane chooses to remain silent rather than risk
losing control over the power within her. She alone knows what
havoc her words can cause. Then the authorities put her in the care
of the mysterious Landon Ward, and Jane is surprised when he treats
her like a person rather than a prisoner. Ward's protective nature
causes her resolve to crack in spite of her best efforts to resist.
Just as Jane begins to trust him, though, a freak accident reveals
the dangerous power she has concealed for years. It also reveals
that the government has been keeping secrets of its own. Now Jane's
ability is at the heart of a sinister plot for vengeance, and she
has to decide whom she will trust ... and whom she will help.
Well-known throughout her native Australia, Lynette Noni creates
compelling stories that appeal to devoted fantasy fans and
general-interest readers alike. This novel's extended metaphor
about finding --- and controlling --- one's voice and power will
resonate with teens attempting to do just that. The slow-simmering
romance, richly imagined world and unexpected plot twists will hook
readers from the very first page.
