Michael Cairne has grown up in the horrific confines of the People's Republic of America, an oppressed nation torn apart by war and surrounded by an inescapable stone wall and deadly gun turrets.
Every day, the ruthless dictator of his country tells citizens they are safe from the raiders and terrorists on the other side. But what really exists in the war-torn "Eastlands," where no one is allowed to venture? What horrors lurk in that post-nuclear wasteland?
When Michael discovers he is telepathic, a man who lives on the other side visits him with an offer of a new life. This outlaw knows something about Michael – about the power growing in his brain, which makes him unique and dangerous, and why certain triggers cause Michael to cry blood and lose control, causing death on a mass scale.
To learn the truth about the experiment that created him – and stop a terrifying telepathic army on the brink of being unleashed – Michael must cross to the other side and join a community of freaks and rebels who don’t trust him, some of whom will stop at nothing to make him disappear.
Will he tame his power and became an Ascendant? Or fuel it with hatred and become a Bloodcrier?
