Seedling: A Rayatana Universe Story (The Anomalies Series, #0.5)

When truth is dangerous, honesty becomes the greatest power.

Duncan has a secret: a power inside him that’s gone wrong in the past. When it’s time to introduce himself to a new teacher, what will he say? And, will his classmates ever accept the truth? In the crowded hallways of middle school, Duncan McCloud stands apart—isolated by a gift that marks him as different even among other Anomalies. His rare ability, kept carefully controlled since a mysterious kindergarten incident, has taught him the art of invisibility in plain sight. As seventh grade begins, Duncan faces a simple yet profound choice: continue hiding who he truly is, or risk honesty in a world that has already judged him. 

Set in the Rayatana Universe, “Seedling” plants the first roots of the Anomalies Series, introducing readers to a world where extraordinary abilities can be both blessing and burden.
