It's hard to be a fourteen year old girl in 1975, and even harder if you are constantly afraid that you'll summon killer storms. This is a worry that plagues Artemis Sage Smith, one of the Talented- people born with magical talents, and left to decide if it's a blessing or a curse. When the opportunity arises to start high school at the Academy, it seems like the perfect opportunity- a school dedicated to helping Talented kids learn to use their powers safely! But when the X arises, an evil genius dead set on destroying the Academy and those in it, Artemis's perfect life is shattered, forcing her and her friends to leave the school and stop the evil monster and his army before it is too late- or die trying.
