In the aftermath of a sweeping political reset, America stands on the brink of a new age-one not shaped by policy, but by power. A secret government program hidden in plain sight has activated dormant DNA in millions of unsuspecting citizens. Overnight, ordinary people develop abilities once thought impossible: telepathy, telekinesis, even flight. As the nation reels from the fallout, chaos erupts-between those who seek to control this new power, those who want to weaponize it, and those who simply want to survive it. At the heart of the storm is Jalen, a young man whose powers awaken in the shadow of his sister’s disappearance. Joined by a defiant crew of gifted rebels-including a sharp-tongued telepath, a street-smart fighter, and a teleporter who knows too much-Jalen must outrun government forces, expose the truth, and unlock a legacy buried in his own blood. But as the line between evolution and domination blurs, Jalen and his allies must face the hardest truth of all: the real war isn’t between the gifted and the powerless-it’s between those who will fight for humanity, and those who have already left it behind. Emergence is a pulse-pounding sci-fi thriller of conspiracy, revolution, and identity in a world where survival depends not on what you can do-but who you choose to be.
