When Dr. Jessica Paladon worked for her friend, Dr. Dean Devya, she helped create Nadia, one of the world's few Minders. Tough circumstances drove her away from that life, and to protect the secrets, she willingly took a drug that induced amnesia. But now she needs those memories. Two children - her children - Nadia and Varick, are competing in a winners-take-all, losers-might-die competition for the biggest secret government contract out there. They're fighting for the right to exist.

Meet Jillian Blairington in some of the adventures and misadventures that predate the events of Ashlynn's Dreams.

If one counts each of his siblings plus Danielle Matheson, the list of people Varick wants to protect stretches from coast to coast. The more he gets to know Danielle, the more she comes to mean to him. Meanwhile, somebody has captured Nadia and wants to sell her to the highest bidder. Varick’s lifelong quest has been to free her from their father, Dr. Dean Devya.

Danielle Matheson faces a difficult decision: helplessly watch Christy's mother die of cancer, or ask Jillian and her genetically Gifted siblings to risk their freedom to save her. Once committed to the cause, Jillian, Malia, and Michio turn their full attention to fighting the cancer, but more danger awaits them. Defeating the disease and dodging government agents soon become the least of their worries when measured against the race against time to rescue one girl from certain death.

In November 1909, thousands of factory workers walked off the job to protest the terrible working conditions in New York City factories. Joining the picket lines was dangerous, with thugs and police officers harassing picketers, but the protests stirred action. Many factory owners finally agreed to some of the workers’ demands and improved conditions. But nothing changed for workers at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, and those workers would pay a high price for the company's dangerous conditions.

People connected to Devya's Children are dead or being hunted. Selling government secrets could buy them a lot of bargaining power, but Dustin's knowledge is power. One path leads to captivity and the chance to hone their Gifts to perfection. The other path leads to freedom and a life on the run.

To pass the next training phase, Cassandra must kill a certain target, but the line between friend and foe quickly blurs.

Name’s Jess, but my official superhero name is Just Jess. (Just as in justice according to one yappy reporter.) Because I have multiple Gifts, I get to be the poster child for superpowers. Lucky me. (Translation: I get to deal with suited ninnies in stuffy boardrooms, a big fat target on my back, and would-be supervillains who keep popping up like dandelions.) Chasing down bad guys might keep me out of the boardroom (always a plus), but the government head games threaten my sanity and my family.
