Some people dream of power. Kendle dreams of keeping it from destroying her students.

Wild-born telepaths and telekinetics are feared, monitored, and quietly erased. The underfunded Warehouse is the only school willing to take the teenagers—students whose abilities crack walls and shatter glass when emotions run high. Kendle and the other teachers must teach them control or risk losing them to institutions designed to contain their power.

Then Stephen arrives.

He’s a Bred, genetically engineered to perfection, and blindsided by the Warehouse’s long hours, limited resources, and students who push every boundary. Kendle doesn’t want him there, doesn’t trust what he represents, and definitely shouldn’t be distracted by him.

Stephen isn’t ready for Kendle either: fierce, brilliant, and infuriatingly resistant to the rules meant to keep her in line. Attraction was never part of the plan, and in the Warehouse, it feels dangerously close to betrayal.

And the timing couldn’t be worse. With distrust of Wilds simmering and the Warehouse struggling to stay open, Kendle must stop her director from expelling the most gifted students, children she refuses to abandon.

Rivals-to-lovers. Found family. Slow-burn dystopian romantasy.
