SURVIVAL IS JUST THE FIRST SYMPTOM. 1% of children worldwide suffer sudden cardiac arrest, only to wake up one day with searing blue streaks and destructive powers. But the clock is ticking: the streaks along with their powers vanish on their 18th birthday. Jalen is a mercenary now. Igniting fires with a thought tends to spark more trouble than it's worth. Plus, his blue streaks turned red, and he should have lost his power months ago. This anomaly makes him the perfect weapon for the shadowy Chimera Agency. Nya was once the pride of Kenya, daughter of a decorated Army general. When her powers come, she is labeled the Accursed, and must flee for her life. Alongside her father, she leads the Kovu Freedom Fighters to protect others like her. Two worlds collide when Jalen is ordered to assassinate Nya's father. Nya will do anything to save the only family she has left. Will Jalen find out the truth before it's too late? HE WAS SENT TO DESTROY THEM. SHE HAS THE TRUTH TO SET HIM FREE. TOGETHER, THEY ARE A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM.
