Book description by the
Author:
She
tries to save the world ...
...
but can she save herself?
Ulka
trained besides the Sigma, but unlike them, her powers remained dormant.
Until
a ballistic weapon finally awakened her hidden abilities and flipped her world
upside down.
As
Ulka struggled with her new found powers, a Magnetar raced toward earth, causing
tides, volcanoes and tremors. The super-humans sent to counter the Magnetar
never returned, and Ulka is the world’s last hope.
Even
if she succeeds, there’s a much bigger threat lurking in the shadows, waiting
to unleash a fate worse than death.
If
you like superhero stories with riveting action sequences, you will love this
first book in the series.
