Flynn Dalton doesnt want to be a hero. But for Genesis, shell do whatever it takes. After her first, deadly brush with the paranormal, Flynn just wants to get back to her life: construction work, semiprofessional bowling, and her fiance, Genesis. Unfortunately, Flynns abilities have caught the attention of the National Psychic Registry, and they have their own agenda. Wherever Flynn goes, the registry follows, setting up tests of her abilities, hounding her to attend the conference in Atlantic City for evaluation and training. Flynn can handle the registrys heavy-handed tactics, threats, and guilt trips. Shes even convinced herself she can deal with her own growing--and increasingly dangerous--powers. But the offer to heal the wounds she sustained in Dead Womans Pond, wounds that are making it almost impossible to do the work she loves, is much more tempting. And if the registry learns of Gens addiction to dark magic, agreeing to do whatever the registry wants might be the only bargaining chip Flynn has left. Unfortunately, the registrys plans for her are much deadlier than a simple series of tests....
