Having a superpower is ordinary. Your power determines your entire life. But 17-year-old Ugene is powerless. He can’t read minds or enhance his strength.

She offers herself as a Ram slave, joining the people who are called the Nameless. Hers is a suicide mission - Zo's despair after losing her parents in a Ram raid has left her seeking both revenge and an end to her own misery.
