As she reaches the bottom, everything changes. An extraordinary new way of seeing opens Freya to new chances, new friends, and new love. When the traumas of the past threaten to capsize the promise of the future, her greatest friend becomes her worst enemy. Can she find the strength to rise?GRAVID explores the fraught intersection of trauma and telepathy. Reader discretion is advised. Want to read a chapter ahead and support the editing of this work?
