the superhero in us all in this unique exploration of the connections

Somadina, a young Nigerian telepath, faces a crisis. Since being forced into a frightening marriage, her sister, Nwanyi, has disappeared into thin air. Not even Somadina's gift can help locate her sibling. Terrified and desperate, she reaches out to fellow telepath, Lola--a Texas scientist--for assistance.
Lola,
however, has been steadfastly ignoring the disturbing phenomenon in
her mind for decades, and has no intention of embracing it now--much
less for a total stranger. But once it becomes apparent Nwanyi is a
pawn in a dangerous political game, the stakes rise for everyone, and
Lola is forced to reconsider.
Can
these powerful women overlook their differences and use their unique
gifts to stop a fanatic willing to kill anyone to alter his nation's
future?

Ascending Book 6
Join an extraordinary family on a heart-pounding adventure as they face mortal danger.
Telepathy
creates as many problems as it solves, as everyone in the secret
organization x0 would admit. Those problems become much worse when
budding psychic Lola discovers another group of telepaths associated
with a powerful media empire. This group is willing to destroy anyone
capable of challenging them.
Soon,
Lola’s family and friends are in danger. Fortunately, they are
gifted with astonishing abilities of their own. Yet, none of them
know how to fight. It will take every power they posses, and the
allegiance of a helpful warrior, to bring down the arrogant adepts
who do the bidding of a man hell-bent on promoting destruction.
Can
the talented people Lola cares about learn to trust each other and
work together in order to save the world?
The phone rang, annoying him with its interruption. Then he guessed who was at the other end of the line. I hate goddamned telepaths. He picked up the phone.
“You’re correct. My name is Olumiji and we’re quite capable of changing a password before you use it. But we didn’t. I trust you’re enjoying our website?”
The deep voice resonated with the melody of Africa.
“I’m finding it interesting, thank you.”
“Wonderful. My group and I have decided it’s a waste of valuable time for us to play hide and seek with each other, simply because we have different philosophies. Needlessly dangerous as well, don’t you think?”
“It hasn’t been dangerous for me.”
There was silence.
“What is it you want from me?” Warren asked.
“We’d like to meet you. Have you over for tea, so to speak. See if there are areas in which we can work together while we eliminate our mutual fear of the unknown by learning to understand each other.”
“No thank you.”
There was more silence.
“You don’t even want to meet us?” The man sounded genuinely baffled.
“Not really,” Warren said. “We’re not looking for new friends. My telepaths have work to do, and I don’t have time for play dates.”
His eyes flicked to the screen. He’d been logged out.
Don’t underestimate their technological capabilities.
“Correct. You’d be well advised not to underestimate any of our capabilities.”
Warren winced.
“But suit yourself. Perhaps the monads who choose to tell you about their encounters with us over the next few days will suggest you reconsider.”
“Encounters? How do you know about the monads?”
Warren got no answer. The line went dead, then the screen went dead, and then the lights went off.
“Cheap trick.” For once he hoped every telepath out there could hear him.
