Publisher Description
The first novel in Kelly Meding’s thrilling urban fantasy series, where war-ravaged Los Angeles becomes the battleground for an epic Meta human showdown filled with danger, passion, and high-octane action.
Fifteen years ago, Teresa “Trance” West was a talented telepath and proud member of the elite Ranger Corps—heroes who protected the world during the devastating Meta War. But when the Rangers inexplicably lost their powers at the war’s climax, Trance was left powerless, drifting from one dead-end job to another.
Now, her abilities have returned without warning—stronger and stranger than ever—and they’re threatening to destroy her. Determined to understand what happened, Trance heads to Los Angeles to find the surviving Rangers and uncover the truth behind their mysterious resurgence.
But someone in the shadows is hunting them, determined to eliminate the team before they can reunite. As the attacks escalate, Trance and her fellow Rangers must face a sinister enemy who knows their powers better than they do—and who plans to use those powers as his ultimate weapon.
Fast-paced, sexy, and packed with explosive twists, Trance is perfect for fans of superhero fantasy, fierce heroines, and action-driven romance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ex-con Teresa West was a young MetaHuman called Trance until her powers mysteriously vanished at the end of a war between the government's Rangers and the evil Bane. Fifteen years later, she's barely surviving as an underpaid barmaid and housecleaner when her abilities suddenly return in a powerful new form. Returning to the reopened Rangers headquarters near burned-out Los Angeles, she reunites with her former schoolmates in a desperate fight against the psychic body-stealer Spector, who is bent on destroying the untrained young Metas before they can emerge as a team and untangle the mystery of their powers' disappearance and return. Though most characters are shallowly drawn and the plot offers few surprises, Meding (Three Days to Dead) successfully captures the action-packed pace of superhero team comics particularly The New Teen Titans, which she cites as an influence with her group of colorful young adventurers.
