description: Life in Paradise isn't always what it seems... Leaving college is an easy choice for Maia Fuentes. With no siblings and a dead war hero dad, taking a break to be alongside her sick mother is a no brainer.But her summer full of job applications and hospital visits comes to a rough start when she encounters Jules Devereaux, an enigmatic man on the search for someone...in the frozen food aisle of the grocery store. When Maia finds him again-this time inside her mother's hospital room with a demand from a secret group called the Legion, she is only sure of one thing: Her mother knows more than she is leading on. Uprooted and taken to a small desert town, Maia discovers the Gifted. A race of ability wielding people caught in a ceasefire between the Legion and those jeopardizing the secrecy of their kind-the Elite. And turns out she's also one of them. With the threat of war on the horizon, the untold secrets of the past begin to unravel. But for Maia, learning the truth may be far more deadlier than the lies...
