The Essence in Us

There are no such things as miracles.

Eighteen-year-old Quinn thought she was ordinary—until strangers attacked her home, leaving her thrust into a secret world where ancient powers protect humanity and deadly enemies lurk at every turn.

There are no such things as miracles.

Eighteen-year-old Quinn has been living a quiet, ordinary life, caring for her siblings while her mother works long nights at the hospital. That changes when strangers break into her home, leaving her fighting for her life. Rescued by a mysterious group, she wakes in the Haven, a remote community of Essenceborn, an ancient race who have quietly protected humanity for centuries, preventing disasters humans would call miraculous.

Being an Essenceborn is dangerous. The Noxcen, a deadly rival race that feeds on Essence, attack across the country in ways that all seem to point back to Quinn, even though she has yet to fully understand her own abilities. Forced to attend the Foundation to train and hone her powers, Quinn must navigate her new life under the watchful eye of Captain Miles, her guardian and love interest. She uncovers secrets about her family, her past, and the true nature of the Haven, while a dangerous Noxcen named Graycin sends taunting letters that challenge everything she came to believe. With her family in danger and enemies closing in, Quinn must discover what makes her truly extraordinary before it is too late.
