Book Synopsis:
In Myra's world, some people can flicker—become invisible—at will. The ability to flicker is a burden, not a gift. Flickerkin are viewed with suspicion by the ruling Plats: An invisible person might be a spy, a traitor, an assassin. Flickerkin discovered in New Heart City, the Plat capital, can be put to death. Myra, who is part Flickerkin, has never dared to use her inherited power.
In Myra's world, some people can flicker—become invisible—at will. The ability to flicker is a burden, not a gift. Flickerkin are viewed with suspicion by the ruling Plats: An invisible person might be a spy, a traitor, an assassin. Flickerkin discovered in New Heart City, the Plat capital, can be put to death. Myra, who is part Flickerkin, has never dared to use her inherited power.
But
when mysterious happenings begin to occur around New Heart
City—disturbances that appear to be caused by invisible people—the
Plats’ fear and persecution of Flickerkin intensify. Myra sees her
comfortable life eroding, her family split apart, and her budding
romance on shaky ground. Violence between Plat and Flickerkin is
inevitable, and Myra, with her dual identity and divided loyalties, is
caught in the middle.
Tangled in intrigue, political manipulation, and betrayal, Myra feels mounting pressure to choose sides. And she knows that using her ability to flicker—the very ability she has desperately concealed—may be the only way to save herself.
