Static

FBI Agent Owen Finch is a mind mage, the government's secret weapon against supernatural threats. For him, the constant psychic "static" of other people's thoughts is a daily battle. His job is to hunt the monsters that hide in the shadows of the world, but the real fight is the one in his own head, where a single crack in his mental defenses could drown him in the chaos of other minds.

Then the static becomes a storm. A viral spirituality app infects millions, awakening latent magical abilities on a global scale. Suddenly, the world is teeming with new, terrified, and dangerously powerful people. Containment is impossible. The background noise Owen has fought to filter out his entire life has become a deafening roar of a million new voices screaming in his skull.

As Owen and his partner race to stop the pandemic of power, they discover the app is no accident but a weapon of ancient design. They are not just fighting a rogue piece of code; they are fighting a war they never knew existed against players who have operated in secret for centuries. With the world tearing itself apart, the FBI's only telepath must find a way to navigate the minds of a million new threats before the feedback blows his own apart.
