Development Pitch
Keana’s had enough of being the foreign-born outcast in Earth’s last haven for immortals. She cheats and lies her way into the Awakening ceremony with the other sixteen year olds, hoping to finally blend in. If she's lucky, she'll awaken as a telepath, an airbender, perhaps a firestarter. If she’s not lucky, a regular citizen with bills to pay, curfews to abide by, oppressive dress codes, and the loss of traveling rights. But what Keana becomes is a catalyst for catastrophe: whenever she’s around, other people's powers go haywire and they become mortal. And the city's all-knowing Wise are none too happy. They have lost their foresight, and they're on the hunt to find and destroy the source of their weakness. Keana must decide whether to abandon her once-catatonic adoptive father, who’s coming alive again at her touch, and escape Lumen entirely, or try to outsmart the Wise before they discover she’s the reason their power is waning. When she finds out that her father’s mental illness was a deliberate attempt by the Wise to silence him, she knows she must stay behind to protect him and investigate the origins of her dangerous powers. But if she fails to outwit the Wise, her family will be cast into the wilderness to die.
