About This Book

Three months since the tunnel. Three months of practicing in secret. Three months of feeling watched.

Elle has mapped the surveillance team following her. Meen has analyzed the patterns. Teena knows they're running out of time. And when a new volunteer named Sarah arrives at the group home asking too many questions, the girls realize Prometheus Applied Sciences has found them.

But they're not alone. Tal, a girl with autism who counts everything and trusts no one, has noticed things the others missed. She's also discovered something about herself: she can feel water the way Elle feels wind, the way Meen feels heat, the way Teena feels earth.

Four Elements. Four Girls.

Wind. Fire. Earth. Water. The periodic table encoded in their names now has its final member. Tal completes the set, and Prometheus wants to collect them all.

When Prometheus springs its trap, the EleMenTs must choose: stay hidden and be captured one by one, or go public with abilities that will change how the world sees them forever. The organization that hunts them has resources, technology, and the law on its side. The girls have each other, their powers, and nothing left to lose.

The Stakes Rise

The Invisible Hand expands the world introduced in Beneath the City. The shadowy corporation hunting the girls has a name, a face, and a plan. The foster care system that was supposed to protect them has been compromised. And the choice between hiding and fighting becomes impossible when hiding is no longer an option.

This second volume of the trilogy follows the girls as they learn to work together, trust each other, and understand that their disabilities were never weaknesses. The world saw them as broken. Prometheus sees them as weapons. They're learning to see themselves as something else entirely.
