To the outside world, Payal Rao is the perfect Psy: a cardinal telekinetic, CEO of a powerful conglomerate, ruthless, beautiful and emotionless. What no one knows is that she's also an Anchor-one of most mysterious Psy designations, but also one vital to the PsyNet's existence. But the PsyNet is deteriorating at an alarming rate, threatening to collapse and kill millions of Psy with it. Stabilizing the PsyNet is what Anchors do, though their identities have always been kept secret...until now. Canto Mercant has spent most of his life in a wheelchair, but as a Psy his mind has always compensated for his physical limitations. As an Anchor himself, he knows that they are the key to the PsyNet's survival and is willing to go against even the Ruling Coalition to save it. But he needs the help of the most powerful Anchor he can find: Payal. As the spymaster for the influential Mercant family, it was child's play to track her down, but the woman he finds is not who he expects at all.
