Emotions are something that Faith Nightstar, one of the most powerful F-Psys on Earth, cannot afford to have. Yet, when her visions become filled with very emotianlly charged images and her sister is murdered, she knows she must venture out of the safety she has surrounded herself in for twenty one years if she wants answers. Finding the first Psy to pursure a life in the wilds, Sascha, she begins to learn how to feel when she meets Vaughn D'Angelo, a Changeling, or were-cat, who is drawn to the lovely, isolated young woman.

He vows to protect her, to help her, and to eventually, claim her. Back in the city, Faith finds herself caught in the tangled web of politics and in more danger than she could have ever foreseen, even with her talents. Moreover, she has begun to feel, a fact she must keep hidden if she wants to retain any measure of safety from even those she previously trusted.

Though this series does remind me greatly of the Matrix, it makes far more sense than that movie saga did. Sharp contrasts paint a vivid picture with well defined characters who keep the action flowing as the tension mounts. I would note that Faith's father is one of the more fascinating secondary players in the drama and wonder if he might merit his own story someday.
