What if you had a power you had to hide from everyoneâuntil now? In this bold sci-fi action thriller, a secret training program at West Point is turning misfits into a new generation of heroes.
Scarlett Winter has always been an outsider, and not only because sheâs a hardcore daredevil and born troublemakerâshe has been hiding superhuman powers she doesnât yet understand. Now sheâs been recruited by a secret West Point unit for cadets with extraordinary abilities. Scarlett and her fellow students are learning to hone their skills, from telekinetic combat to running recon missions through strangersâ dreamscapes. At The Point, Scarlett discovers that she may be the most powerful cadet of all. With the power to control pure energy, sheâs a human nuclear bombâand sheâs not sure she can control her powers much longer.
