Renegade

How much would you sacrifice to keep your superpower? Sixteen-year old Mathilda Brandt just discovered hers: the ability to listen to and control plant life. She will face a stark choice when the world learns about her new ability: Either put on the blue jumpsuit and become a member of the Hero Council and follow any and all orders, or forswear ever using her power for any reason. Mat refuses both choices, deciding to keep her superpower a secret. Only some secrets can’t be kept. She goes underground, having found a hidden place where she can belong with others like herself. But if she wants a place to belong, first she must save it. Renegade is the prequel to the Empowered series, which begins with Empowered: Agent.
