WILLINGBORO, N.J. - TelAve -- J. Robert Clark introduces a world governed by extraordinary abilities in Resonance: Volume One - Awakening, the opening installment of a character-driven science-fantasy saga combining progression, adventure, and high-stakes conflict. For five centuries, humanity has understood power through five Resonances: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Nature. Seventeen-year-old Riker Vance fits none of them. After concealing an impossible ability for four years, Riker wants little more than to graduate unnoticed, but one decision to save a life exposes the secret he has worked desperately to protect.

Riker's revelation attracts forces far beyond his small town, raising questions capable of challenging accepted history. His search for answers leads toward Oracle University, an elite institution where gifted students develop abilities and compete to prove themselves. Before Riker can claim a place there, he must survive demanding trials while navigating a system that has no established category for him.
