“Part dystopian fiction, part feminist manifesto, P.O.W.ER is an extraordinary example of modern storytelling.” —Sarah Cottrell, Huffington Post
What if your words were a crime, but your silence was a death sentence?
In New North, women are forbidden to read. Andra has spent her whole life hiding the fact that she can do far more than that. She can write events into existence. Her words do not just describe reality. They create it.
When the wrong people discover what she can do, Andra is faced with an impossible choice. Stay hidden and survive. Or use her power and risk everything to free the women around her.
She was never supposed to be a revolutionary. But revolutions are not started by the people who feel ready.
P.O.W.ER is the story of what happens when one young woman stops hiding and starts writing the world she wants to live in.
