One day I’m the darling of the Guardians and the next our whole family is running for their lives. All because of a premonition I had.
My first premonition ever …

Now they want me to go undercover at Genesis Academy, the Guardian’s school for rebels and rejects. Me—the goody-goody science nerd with the brand new powers emerging at random times. Oh, and I have to keep my budding Seer powers a secret. Too bad they emerge at the worst times.

At least I have one person on my side, my fabulous roomie. Only, her brooding brother is the bane of my existence.
