In a twenty-second-century city, metahumans live hidden among ordinary people, with powers like telekinesis, spatial control and temperature manipulation. Raven Cipher, a brilliant young chemist, joins a secret federal agency on a deep-sea island at eighteen. At twenty-two she creates a serum that alters metahumans, and then enemies kill her and dump her into the ocean. She wakes in the body of a broke college student who died in a rented room with a fortune she never touched.
Raven spends the money on luxury brands and books a seven-day cruise, but her spending draws attention. At checkout she catches the eye of Theron Kane, the secret force behind these industries and the uncle of the boyfriend who humiliated her predecessor. His interest turns the rebirth into a game of wits, and Raven must decide whom to trust while she hunts the people who killed her.
