In a Nutshell: Paranormal powers * High-octane action * Hunt for happy-endings
Step into the shadowy world of the Savants in this sixth installment of a series that oozes intrigue, action and romance.
To set the scene for the uninitiated, the Savants possess gifts of extra sensory perception. They’re all telepathic, and each also has an additional individual ability. When they're conceived, someone else, somewhere else in the world, receives a gift that can complete their power. Summer's gift is that of reading minds. She can even take over the minds of others if her will is stronger.
When Summer's friend Victor goes missing (his FBI bosses suspect that he’s gone rogue in Afghanistan), she undertakes a risky mission to find him. Enter straight-talking, macho soldier Hal Robinson, who's been tasked with the same assignment. While caught in this maelstrom of dangerous circumstances and unfamiliar, vividly evoked surroundings, Summer and Hal might just be about to discover that there’s truth in the old adage that opposites attract…
With its snappy, sassy storyline and satisfying real-world references to the likes of YouTube and the untold agony that can come from wearing heels, this energetic novel comes highly recommended to readers who like their fantasy fast and feisty. ~ Joanne Owen

About Joss Stirling
Joss Stirling studied English at Cambridge and has always been fascinated by the idea that life is more than what we see on the surface. Researching Finding Sky saw her travelling in the characters' footsteps, from the awe-inspiring landscape of the Rockies, down a white-water river on a raft, and to the artificial pleasures of Las Vegas. Stealing Phoenix followed - to widespread acclaim - and her most recent novel, Seeking Crystal, was published in 2012.
