She fears repeating the past. He fears ruining the future. Civilization hangs by a thread.
​
Fifty years after a global disaster drastically altered the world, nature is back with a vengeance, threatening to break society’s order.
Jovita Salazar hides her electric powers from the public while researching ways to eliminate a life killing poison. When super soldiers ravage her hometown of Miami, she's forced to travel through a world where “magical” plants and animals are prone to attack unsuspecting victims.
Dylan Maddox has spent years in a secret military organization, using his ice powers to protect others from rogue threats. When faced with an order to kill Jovita with flimsy evidence, the legacy of his family and friends hangs in the balance, compelling him to fight for what he believes in.
When a familiar enemy emerges from the shadows, the two must reach common ground if they hope to save everything they love from a world-decimating blight.
