Latent Magic

LATENT MAGIC
An Urban Fantasy Thriller

Rebecca Chen was never supposed to exist.

When a bombing exposes the truth about manifestors—ordinary people with extraordinary abilities—Rebecca becomes the most wanted woman in America. Branded a domestic terrorist, hunted by federal agencies, private mercenaries, and black-market collectors, she has only one advantage: she understands the system designed to capture people like her… because she helped build it.

Now on the run through rain-soaked cities and surveillance-heavy streets, Rebecca must stay invisible while her latent powers grow more dangerous and harder to control. Every flickering light, every electronic glitch risks revealing her location. And someone is always watching.

As rival factions close in—including a ruthless collector willing to pay millions for her capture—Rebecca faces an impossible choice: trust an underground network offering sanctuary, disappear across an international border, or keep running until her magic destroys her—or everyone around her.

LATENT MAGIC is a fast-paced urban fantasy thriller blending:

Perfect for fans of The Dresden Files, The Rook, Burn Notice–style fugitives, and grounded urban fantasy with a thriller edge, this novella launches a world where magic isnt mystical—its classified, controlled, and lethal.

Some powers are meant to stay buried.
Rebeccas already too late.
