Overview

Superheroes are big business. Imagine not being able to afford them.


Kit Baldwin just wants to make rent. The only work she can find in the ruins of her devastated city is scavenging for alien technology. When she finds a powerful alien weapon, her discovery pays off more than she could have hoped: it draws the attention of the most powerful of the superhuman Empowered, Valene.

Valene hears everything, everywhere. She suffers for it, and as they begin a precipitous romance, Kit believes she can use the weapon she's scavenged to mitigate Valene's pain. If she can't, Valene will retreat to the soundlessness of space. Without Valene's compassion, the stricken city is left to the mercy of Valene's ruthless father, who denies the assistance the city needs unless it can pay for it.

As Valene's condition worsens, Kit becomes more desperate and unleashes the full power of the alien weapon. In an instant, she is transformed into a being of cosmic power. She can acquire the knowledge and energy of anything – or anyone – she touches.

But Kit can still save Valene, if she can control the alien power, and overcome the Empowered who view her as a threat. To do so, she will have to give up everything else: the needs of her city, her humanity, and the life she so desperately wanted to save.
