The Affectum System

Mia, who was 17, thought that getting out of the orphanage would save her. She was wrong. Mia is forced into an arranged marriage with a rich family, but she finds out that she was picked not because they loved her but because they wanted to test the Affectum System, a scary technology that turns people's feelings into deadly weapons. When anger may start flames and sadness can change the way things are, every feeling becomes a matter of life and death. Mia escapes in a hurry and finds an unusual ally in Kai, a smart teenager who is troubled by the inexplicable murder of his parents. They find out a terrible truth: the government's "emotional regulation" experiments have made a new sort of war, converting trauma into power and making everyone a possible weapon. Now, extraterrestrial species (The Vex) are coming to Earth because of the emotional instability, and a secret group is fighting the government that made this horror happen. Mia is stuck between two groups that want to control her powers. She needs to learn how to regulate her feelings, which might either heal the planet or destroy it totally. But in a world where your darkest agony makes you stronger, can love endure when it may literally kill? A thrilling sci-fi story that combines psychology and physics, with the war for the destiny of humanity taking place in the human heart.
