SEEN: What Cannot Be Taken
Sarah Mitchell is changing.
Not metaphorically. Not the soft language of self-help or the careful vocabulary of therapy. Actually changing - knowing things before they happen, feeling the people she loves like warm points of light behind her sternum, standing in a December river before dawn and finding something in the current that no one has a name for yet.
Someone does have a name for it.
They call it a catalyst. They've been managing catalysts for twenty-three years. Forty groups. Fourteen names. A protocol refined across decades by an organization with the patience of something that has never failed to complete its work.
They have a file on Sarah.
They have a file on all of them - the retired schoolteacher whose tremor stopped, the nurse who made a decision that cost her everything, the architect who lost eleven years to a grey she thought was ordinary, the man who built a barn and set up chairs and waited. The quiet Thursday nights in an honest space where something moved through a circle of people that Meridian Group would very much like to prevent from reaching full term.
They call it anomalous cohesion.
Sarah calls it the barn.
What follows is a wellness hold, a fabricated psychiatric record, a county road on a Tuesday morning and a truck that crosses the center line with the deliberate patience of an instruction being executed. It is a ex-husband coached to express concern. It is a manila folder getting thicker.
It is also a woman who stood in a river and found out what she was made of.
And found out it could not be taken.
What Cannot Be Taken is the second book in the SEEN series - part paranormal romance, part thriller, entirely about what happens when people become more fully themselves than the world built around them was designed to allow.
They have never let one reach full term.
They were too late this time.
A man of many pasts, farmer, contractor, teacher, fire captain and paramedic. Has built many deep sea boats and sailed the great lakes and ocean. Injured fighting a large fire requiring a rebuild, but still functioning and flipped many homes.
Now retired and enjoying spinning tales as he closed in on 90 years old, 87 and holding.
