Billy and Ali are ten-year-old twins living on the planet Azule, where psychic abilities are common but dangerous. Most people with these mental powers hide them from the oppressive government that controls their world. The twins face an impossible decision when someone they care about needs rescue from a terrible fate. Using their psychic Gifts means exposing themselves to the ruthless Inquisitors who hunt people like them. Billy and Ali must choose between safety and sacrifice. Once they act, the Inquisitors pursue them relentlessly through the waterfront districts and busy docks of Azule City. The twins rely on their wits and abilities to stay ahead of their hunters. When they discover a loved one is trapped and only they possess the knowledge to help, another choice awaits them. This decision could seal their doom forever. The siblings learn that every choice carries a price and that sacrifice demands more courage than they imagined.
