Tessa Rising: (The Young Telepath Book 1)

Sixteen-year-old Tessa can hear what no one else can—the thoughts inside people’s heads. She has spent years trying to hide her telepathy, blending in and pretending to be normal.

But when a disturbing vision exposes her secret, Tessa’s hidden power becomes impossible to ignore. The government moves quickly, taking her to a covert program for “gifted” teens. They offer training. They promise purpose. They promise she’s not alone.

Except, the truth is far more dangerous.

If she wants to survive, she’ll have to choose whom to believe—and how far she’s willing to push her telepathy before it pushes back.

Fans of The Darkest Minds, Legend, and Shatter Me will love Tessa Rising, a fast-paced YA sci-fi thriller packed with secrets, psychic suspense, and a spark of first love.

This is the YA version of the original TESSA novel, adapted for readers 13 and older. Want the unfiltered version? It’s also available!
