Echoes: Resonance of the Fallen

The world is made of glass, and Jace Thorne is a tuning fork. Since the Ikeya-Zhang comet grazed the atmosphere in 2002, "The Echo" has become the world’s most terrifying pandemic. It doesn’t kill; it changes. It turns adolescents into walking anomalies of kinetic energy—unstable, unpredictable, and hunted. In the quiet town of Oakhaven, fourteen-year-old Jace lives by one rule: Stay still. To the National Echo Agency (N.E.A.), Jace is a "straight-A student" camouflage. To his parents, he is an investment in respectability. But internally, Jace is a storm of molecular vibration, holding his own atoms together by sheer force of will. One slip, one flicker of emotion, and the world around him shatters. But silence is a lonely cage, and the pressure is reaching critical mass. When a mysterious girl named Riley Vance arrives with her own dark secrets and a shared hatred for the system, Jace finally feels he can breathe. But in a world of sensors, black sedans, and "thermal-kinetic" hunters, trust is the most dangerous vibration of all. Excellence is his camouflage. Silence is his shield. But the Echo is calling, and it's time to find out what happens when the glass finally breaks.
