For Elspeth Gordie freedom is - like so much else after the Great White - a memory.

It was a time known as the Age of Chaos. In a final explosive flash everything was destroyed. The few who survived banded together and formed a Council for protection. But people like Elspeth - mysteriously born with powerful mental abilities - are feared by the Council and hunted down like animals . . . to be destroyed.

Her only hope for survival is to keep her power hidden. But is secrecy enough against the terrible might of the Council?
