Psyker

In humanity's grim far future, noble blood can't shield you from the horrors of Chaos. Seventeen-year-old Paric Kilhaven had his life mapped out as a noble scion in the towering hive-city of Hydra Secundus. That life ends when he's attacked in the city's lawless underhive and infected with a mysterious substance that marks his soul and awakens outlawed psychic abilities. Suddenly set adrift, Paric is recruited by the Ecclesiarchy and thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Working covertly, he must outmaneuver rival hive gangs and corrupt nobles while chasing rumors of a Chaos cult. He soon finds a dire threat hidden in the underhive's shadows—a Warp witch preparing to birth a daemon that could destroy everything Paric has ever known. Relying on his forbidden talents, unlikely allies, and determination, Paric fights to stop the witch before it's too late. Set against the rigid backdrop of a hive-city, Psyker weaves power, politics, and identity into a reality where one's existence is both a duty and a curse. Part adventure, part mystery, this dystopian science fantasy novel is appropriate for Adult and Young Adult readers.
