Elena Baxter has magic hands, she can heal with them. She works as an unpaid volunteer in a hospital helping those who are very ill, getting no praise other than for her patience and dedication to her cause. She doesn't understand what she does and feels lost.
Artur Loginov can see what has happened, making him useful on crime scenes. He works for Dirk & Steele helping with cases.
The two of them are kidnapped by the Consortium, to be tested and broken for their cause or to die while being experimented on. The Consortium don't care about their people except as tools and don't want thinking from their staff, they just want obedience.
It's an interesting read and the two main characters are well drawn. I look forward to more stories to learn more about this world.
