In a future where humans are enhanced to ensure the survival of society, Akaego fights to prevent her power to grow plants from being weaponised by a corrupt regime.

In a near future London where extreme weather has depleted plant life, sixteen-year-olds must surgically augment an ability to ensure humanity’s survival. Having spent years training as a coder, Akaego moves to a music academy after the discovery of her rare ability – she can project a vocal frequency that accelerates plant growth.

As Akaego learns to use her new skill and is chosen for a prestigious internship with the Mayor she begins to feel like she can really make a difference to society . . . and it doesn’t hurt that the Mayor’s gorgeous son, Joon, seems to be flirting with her.

But all is not as it seems. When the Freestakers, an anti-enhancement group, warn Akaego not to get augmented, she must learn to trust her instincts as she discovers the terrible truth of her ability and the lengths people are willing to go to to control it . . .

"Brilliant . . . I cannot get the story out of my head." - Kathryn Evans, award-winning author of Beauty Sleep

"Filled with so many twists and turns . . . I loved it!" David Fenne, author of Overemotional

"Amazing . . . I couldn't put it down." S. A. Gales, author of iNSiDE

An <em>anti-racist</em> social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
