Publisher's Synopsis
In the near future, a few young women manifest extraordinary abilities called "Shine." Each girl's ability is different. Some develop extraordinary mental abilities. Some become physically strong. Others have powers that defy description. But the world does not embrace these Shines. It fears them. Camille and her Shine friends are at war for the basic rights their fellow Americans take for granted. But some Shines aren't interested in the fight. After one of Camille's friends is killed during a mission, she's begged by the non-combat team members to find a safe haven. A Shine homeland. Even though she knows there are forces desperate to destroy her, Camille gathers a small group of friends and travels overseas. Are the Russians really protecting their Shines? Or are these rumors of a safe haven luring them to a deadly gilded cage?
