Synopsis
Kathryn and her sister get powers at age 16, like superpowered people in Elessia. Kathryn’s first power, telepathy, is revealed. She has to run away, because non-elemental powers are marked as a gift from the aliens, called Illuskans. Tensions have always been uneasy between aliens and humans, but after a disaster happens and the aliens are blamed, Earth and the aliens are thrown into the first interplanetary war. By this point Kathryn has somehow run into a boy named Matthew, who just happens to be the heir of the Elessian throne. It becomes kind of like a brother-sister relationship until Matthew is drafted into the Army. Kathryn, who thinks the rest of her family is dead (they are except for her sister), follows him and joins the army. She goes through harsh training before accidentally showing her powers. This time, no one tries to kill her, and she is drafted into the 42nd Regiment, where people with elemental, and now other, powers go. She meets Matthew there. But then an alien plague is released. It’s ravaging the world. It turns a normal human into an alien soldier. The alien ((the) Illuski as a species name, Illuskan as an adjective) spaceships (completely surrounding the world) suddenly reveal themselves. The world is thrown into chaos, and Earth is clearly losing. At some point Kathryn makes friends with Matthew’s sister, Essa, and meets Alex Gray, a scientist working to find a cure. Kathryn finds her sister in the 42nd Regiment, now that the draft has been increased to noble families to make up for the new alien soldiers. Lucie and Kathryn are together for a day before it is discovered that Lucie has the plague. Kathryn refuses to believe it, and in the middle of a battle Lucie metamorphosizes into an alien soldier, and Kathryn can’t kill her. Matthew ends up having to and Kathryn's powers go into overdrive, revealing that she has photon manipulation. Kathryn goes unconscious after releasing the light/telekinetic blast. She wakes up in a hospital, seemingly alone, but then goes on to discover that Alex created the plague. And she doesn't learn that he's her father until Crossover Between Spy and Gifted. Confusing, right?
