Synopsis

Seventeen-year old Tessa Ravenwing turns her back on her village in the Alaskan mountains, on the role of healer and storyteller that she has been raised to step into, and chooses instead to become a resistance fighter against Orion, the private defense contractor that has permeated the world with military weapons and infiltrated all levels of U.S government for its own profit. Not many years later Tessa realizes she has made a grave mistake. But it's too late. Even if she wanted to, she can't return to her village because of a secret and the guilt she now carries. Struggling to survive as a resistance fighter against Orion, Tessa feels that she has lost her home, her family, and the gift of healing she was born with.Then chance – or spirit helpers? – brings together Tessa and several family members, as well as a handful of new friends, most of them born with unusual psychic gifts like Tessa's. Gathered in the Alaskan coastal city that is Orion's home base, they begin to ask the question: Is it possible to overthrow violent tyranny without using violence?And Tessa begins to wonder about the possibility of second chances...
