Lena always feels more than others. She calls it feeling - the peace she loses in busy spaces, knowing that something is wrong before someone says something. She thinks everyone has that.
Then she meets Nikos. And feels a calmness that is pleasant but not hers.
Only later does she understand why.
Nikos is a telepath. With Lena, he does something he has never done before: he uses his gift to calm her down. Not out of malice - out of love, he says.
But love and control can look the same.
When Lena discovers the truth, she stays - but on her own terms. Because she too wears more than she thought. A gift that feels the truth of people for those who can speak for themselves. He sees what is behind the words.
A gift that can be dangerous.
A novel about love that becomes honest after a beginning that was not. About two people with gifts they learn to carry. And on the question that lies under everything:
Can you trust someone who has manipulated you - if he is the only one who is honest enough to admit it?
