This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if a single touch could reveal the weather of another's heart?

Welcome to the world of Contact Telepaths, where a select few carry a quiet, heavy gift. A simple touch of a hand, a brush against a shoulder, or a fleeting cross of fingers is all it takes to absorb the raw shape of someone else's inner world. It is never about the precise details of a thought—it is the sudden rush of their joy, fear, guilt, and deep longing.

Unlike the rare telepaths who read minds from afar, contact telepaths are hidden in plain sight. In cities like New York, over a million people live with this sleeping ability, never giving it a name. They walk among us, bound to live and die thinking they are merely “too sensitive,” “too exhausted,” or “too strange” for this world.
