Ascendant (Bloodcrier Book 1)
For Michael Cairne, the change was more than just puberty - it was a psychic event that would completely change his teenage life. Capable of manipulating the thoughts of others, his gift would put him on the run from his nation's brutal police force. His only savior is a man named Louis Blake, a wanted criminal and terrorist who claims to be innocent, and to know the reason Michael's mind can link to those of the people around him - often with deadly results.
When Blake takes him to a small town hidden in the mountains, away from the government men hunting him, Michael will push the limits of his telepathic ability and, when he falls in love with a girl mysteriously tied to his past, enter a whole new world of danger.
The men hunting him have unleashed another like him - a telepath capable of destroying people from the inside out. In order to survive, Michael must ascend. He must enter a whole new plane of existence. He must do it without unleashing the monster within, planted inside of him the day he was conceived, and designed to be the most dangerous weapon known to man.
