There’s a problem, people lost psi (the super ability to do things). A guy named Taemon, who thought he lost psi like everybody else, realizes he does have it when he is trying to find his mom and dad. When he finds his mom, his dad is not there. He thinks his dad might be in danger based on what his mom says, so he goes where they were told as children not to go to get his dad back. The place is trying to go to is called the Republic, that settlement and David’s city (where he lives) used to be the same thing. But, David, their ancestor, shunned the Republic’s. When, he tries to go he realizes he is being followed by a girl even though he tried to keep his journey secret from her. But, there is one problem using psi to numb the pain from an arrow caused the pain to be linked to the arrow. So, using psi more and more is hurting him beyond the pain the arrow would have made. Find out if they survive the treacherous journey.

Opinion: 

This is a great book about two companions who go on a treacherous journey to a no man’s land. It is a great story for young readers who like adventure, friendship, and mystery. The story was very suspenseful it kept you wanting to read the whole thing in one day.  I thought it was so good that I read it in 2 days. But what I didn’t like was that in most places of the book I couldn’t picture the scene. Apart from that the book was great.
