She can't feel a thing. But her mind could control an entire city.
Ever since a shattering childhood tragedy took her brother, Amelia's world has gone completely dark. No joy, no sadness, no anger. Just an echoing, empty void. But nature abhors a vacuum. Instead of experiencing her own emotions, Amelia has become a human sponge, absorbing and reflecting the intense feelings of everyone around her. She thought her numbness was just a trauma response. She was wrong. It's a biological weapon.
When a terrifying confrontation forces her abilities into the light, Amelia is dragged into a hidden, underground war raging right beneath the streets of East Portland. A rogue mastermind known as Dr. Adon, the Alpha, has laced the municipal water supply with a virus that rewrites the human brain, turning traumatized citizens into living emotional Conduits.
Amelia isn't just another Conduit. She is the first known Omega.
Her vast, empty mind makes her the ultimate prize. Dr. Adon intends to use her as a human battery, a vessel to amplify his telepathic control over the entire population. With a government extraction team closing in and a telepathic predator hunting her every thought, Amelia must band together with a fractured group of powerful, emotionally-charged teenagers.
They have exactly eighteen days to master their volatile powers, infiltrate a top-secret research facility, and stop a conspiracy that threatens to consume everyone they love.
The Conduit is a gripping, fast-paced young adult sci-fi thriller perfect for readers who love high-stakes conspiracies, unique superpowers, and stories about finding strength in the very things that broke you. For those who struggle to feel, or struggle because they feel, this fight is for you.
