Surrender means losing herself forever. Refusal means the end of the world. After the death of her mother, eight-year-old Thea begins to hear and feel things other people don’t. The voice in her head says no one will believe her, not even her father. The kids call her Straight-Jacket Johnson and claiming to heal her brother’s broken wrist didn’t help. Thea battles unrelenting tragedy and dismissive doctors as she stands alone against the voice. When she finally finds her footing the voice shows her a world altering event and the dystopian future of mankind’s own making. He offers her a way out, but it’s one she can’t possibly accept. He is good with words. Very good. He hasn’t lied to her yet, unless it’s one big lie to keep Thea to himself forever. Would you gamble your soul to save a loved one? Would you gamble your soul to save the world? 3
