Yves recognises that he and Phoenix are each other’s Soulfinder: the soulmate without whom a Savant’s life cannot be complete. As part of the international Savant Net they exploit their psychic abilities to combat evil. Yves Benedict too is a Savant, as are all his family. Forced to meet the student again, she finds herself in a battle for her own survival and that of everyone she cares for. Her failure to give the Seer what he wants puts her in desperate danger. She gets it, but he has a force that equals hers. We first meet her at the Olympic Stadium, her task to steal the backpack of an American student. Like all members of her gang of Savants, she must use her powers to aid the Seer’s criminal endeavours. Phoenix is a seventeen year-old Savant who can read people’s thought patterns and freeze time - useful attributes in a thief. Those who have not will enjoy it as a stand-alone (and go on, I suspect, to read its predecessor). Those who read Stirling’s earlier novel, Finding Sky, will be delighted to encounter the Benedict brothers again. Fans of paranormal romances will love this book.
