Some people dream of power. Kendle dreams of keeping it from destroying her students.

Wild-born telepaths and kinetics are feared, monitored, and quietly erased. The Warehouse is the only school willing to take the teenagers—students whose abilities crack walls, shatter glass, and spiral out of control when the world turns against them. Kendle is the teacher fighting to keep them safe, no matter the cost.

Then Stephen arrives.

He’s a Bred—genetically engineered for control, not chaos—and utterly unprepared for midnight emergencies, shattered windows, or telekinetic outbursts that leave the building trembling. Kendle doesn’t want him there, doesn’t trust what he represents, and definitely shouldn’t be distracted by him.

But Stephen isn’t prepared for Kendle either: fierce, brilliant, and infuriatingly resistant to everything he was raised to believe. Attraction was never part of the lesson plan…and in the Warehouse, it feels dangerously close to betrayal.

But Kendle has little time for romance. With distrust of Wilds simmering and the Warehouse struggling to keep its doors open, she must stop her director from expelling the most gifted students—children she refuses to abandon to a system that fears them.

Rivals-to-lovers. Found family. Slow burn dystopian romantasy at its finest.
