The Kill Touch

Y'Starren's parents are murdered for their gift and she and her brother are next on the hit list. The only way to protect her little brother is a dangerous job—one which lands her in the middle of a foreign country, imprisoned as a lab rat. The Chazans will do whatever it takes to harness her electrokinetic powers, and they prefer torture to ethical experimentation. Y'Starren must hide what she can really do under layers of bitter sarcasm, or else she'll lose her only hope of escape.

This is the eighth book in the 12 Months of Whump series. Each month in 2025, look out for a new standalone whumpy book!
