After a fatal shooting that exposed Donovan’s hidden powers, the secretive Foundation swallows him into an intensive training program. Marci, who levitated a paperweight at fifteen, and Susan—once a carefree student—join the ranks. They soon learn to teleport across continents, create impenetrable shields that stop bullets, and extract information from old magic remnants. As they navigate the Foundation’s covert missions, the question lingers: do they truly represent the good, or is the organization's moral compass merely another layer of secrecy?
