CounterWeight

Most people eventually let go of the dead. Arden Sava was cursed so he never can. Seven years after his brother’s “accident,” Earth is admitted into the Web, an extraterrestrial system that gives every human a supernatural power and forces a Counterweight on them in return. Arden’s power is Grip, the ability to hold on to anything. His Counterweight is Fixation: the inability to let go of anything. A weapon. A grudge. A ghost. While the world races toward its system-engineered future, Arden looks backward. His brother’s journal holds three pages, written seven years ago, with secrets of the Web. How did he know? The closer Arden gets to the answer, the less accidental the accident looks.
