By Her Touch

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

✨ From New York Times, USA TODAY, and Amazon Top-15 bestselling author Tamara Rose Blodgett comes a dark, gripping supernatural thriller where one touch can awaken extraordinary gifts—or create something monstrous.

One drowning. One gift. One monster awakened.

Gillian Hayward should have died in the dark river.

Pulled from the current and resuscitated by paramedic Ben Cartier, she wakes with more than a second chance at life.

She wakes changed.

A single brush of her skin can reveal a person's hidden aptitude—and amplify it beyond anything humanly possible.

The first person she touches is Ben.

Almost immediately, the ordinary first responder begins speaking languages he's never studied. Dozens of them. Fluently.

His brain has unlocked pathways no one knew existed.

At first, it seems like a miracle.

Until Gillian realizes the changes don't stop at language.

Others she touches begin transforming, too.

Skills sharpen. Instincts heighten. Loyalties shift.

And what begins as an extraordinary gift becomes something far more disturbing.

Because Gillian isn't simply awakening abilities.

She may be rewriting the people themselves.

And someone is watching.

🔪 THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T FEAR WHAT IT UNDERSTANDS. IT FEARS WHAT IT CAN'T CONTROL.

A covert government agency known as the Special Phenomena Directorate (SPD) has spent years tracking post-death anomalies and supernatural phenomena.

People like Gillian aren't celebrated.

They're studied. Weaponized. Or eliminated.

Now Gillian is their highest-value target.

Forced into hiding with Ben and an increasingly dangerous circle of the "rewritten," Gillian discovers her touch does more than amplify talent.

It alters purpose.

And the power growing inside her is escalating beyond her control.

As the SPD closes in, alliances become uncertain, devotion turns dangerous, and the line between protection and possession begins to disappear.

To survive, Gillian must decide whom to trust, whom to empower, and how far she's willing to push an ability she barely understands.

Because every touch has consequences.

And the next person she changes could save them all.

Or doom them.
