In a future where humans are enhanced to ensure the survival of society Akaego fights to prevent her power to grow plants from being weaponised by a corrupt regime.
I was going to be a Mechsim. I was going to use my powers to make a difference.
In a near future London, where extreme weather has depleted plant life, sixteen-year-olds must surgically augment an ability to contribute to the new utopian society. Akaego moves to a prestigious academy after the late discovery of her rare ability - she can project a vocal frequency that accelerates plant growth.
As Akaego learns to use her new skill and is chosen for an internship with the mayor she begins to feel like she can change society for the better . . . and it doesn't hurt that the mayor's gorgeous son, Joon, seems to be flirting with her. But then the Freestakers, an anti-enhancement group, warn Akaego not to get Augmented.
Can she discover the truth of her ability, find the courage to rebel and keep her power out of the hands of those wishing to control it?
Mastering her Progressive Empath abilities isn't going as well as
Gemma hoped. In fact, months after finding out what she really is,
she still has no clue what this truly means. All she can do is wait
to see if any new abilities will eventually manifest. Things aren't
going great with Russ either. Unsure of how to handle her Sentient
Link with him, she tries to integrate herself in his busy social
life but struggles to adjust to her new circumstances. When she is
plagued by recurring nightmares, Gemma realises things are changing
and knows she has to do something, fast. The arrival of two sets of
strangers in town, both offering the much needed assistance she
needs to unearth her powers, escalates the situation even further.
Gemma attempts to decipher whose intentions are genuine, but does
she have enough time to figure out who has her best interest at
heart?
For Gemma Green's first time, things should have been
straightforward. Find your subject, hold their gaze and push a
thought into their head to save them from future disaster -
Aversion complete. A pretty simple process given that the subject
was to have no recollection of the experience. But Russ Tanner
doesn't seem to want to forget. In fact the more she tries to avoid
him, the more he pushes to get to know her. Gemma knows she has a
problem but is she facing the side effects of a failed Aversion or
has the school's tennis champ really fallen for her?
