Apprentice

* WINNER: Realm Makers Book of the Year * * WINNER: Realm Award, Science Fiction * > The Love Collective is everywhere. It sees everything. > Apprentice Flick remembers everything, except the first five years of her life. And for as long as she can remember, Flick has wanted to enter the Elite Academy--home to the best, brightest, and most loyal members of the Love Collective government.

Flick's uncanny memory might get her there, too ... even if it is the very thing that marks her as a freak. But frightening hallucinations start intruding into her days and threaten to bring down all she has worked so hard to accomplish. Why is she being hijacked by a stranger's nightmare over and over again?

Moving to the Elite Academy could give Flick the future she's always wanted. But her search for truth may lead to a danger she cannot escape.
