What if your family's greatest secret could destroy them? Rae Jennings' world shatters when her younger brother's supernatural abilities expose her family to a government task force determined to control—or eliminate—those with powers. While Rae joins a burgeoning underground resistance to dismantle the system and free her family, her alliances are fraught with tension—especially with Theo Rathport, an ex-crush who betrayed her, and former adversary, the unpredictable Charlie West. Inside the camp, Rae's younger brother Mike struggles to adapt to its harsh realities, clinging desperately to the hope that the AATF might let them go home. Meanwhile, Theo grudgingly supplies the resistance with crucial information, even as he works for the very system tearing families apart. As the fight for justice intensifies, Rae must decide: stay in the shadows to survive, or risk everything to challenge the oppressive system that has stolen her family. Perfect for fans of Divergent and The Hunger Games , The Powerful is a thrilling tale of resilience, loyalty, and rebellion told through three gripping perspectives.
