The Powers That Be

The medical assembly has finally arrested the last existing Power, one of the super-powered, nearly-immortal beings tasked with preserving the balance of the world. All too often, though, their battles have ravaged cities, so the capture of the last one delights everyone.

Everyoneexcept Rordan. He stands in the cold, snowy street, capturing the story for his local papersinking further and further into despair. A world robbed of magic? It hardly bears imagining.

Then a woman in the street catches his eye, a woman with hair of flame and eyes of fire. And Rordan realises: no one everprovedhow many Powers existed. Maybejust maybea bigger story waits to be told, one that might just save humanity, if he can expose it in time

For anyone who values a sense of wonder, and believes that everyone is worth of love.
