Comme tous ceux qui ont «la pulsation», Faith Daniels et Dylan Gilmore possèdent des pouvoirs télékinésiques: ils peuvent déplacer des objets par la pensée. Mais il existe dans le monde cinq personnes dotées de la «seconde pulsation» qui détiennent un pouvoir encore plus grand. Presque rien ne peut les blesser. Ils sont pratiquement indestructibles. Faith et Dylan possèdent tous deux la seconde pulsation, mais leurs adversaires l’ont aussi et ils se sont entraînés en vue d’une guerre qui se prépare depuis leur naissance. Alors que Dylan met en oeuvre un plan visant à infiltrer le camp ennemi, il sera confronté à sa seule faiblesse — et à un secret de famille qui menacera jusqu’à sa vie. Ensemble, Faith et Dylan représentent le seul espoir qu’il reste à l’humanité, mais pour exécuter leur plan, ils doivent suivre des voies différentes. Leur amour survivra-t-il? Avec des personnages bien en chair et des scènes d’action à couper le souffle, le deuxième tome de la trilogie Pulsation de Patrick Carman poursuit cette histoire post-apocalyptique d’amour et de vengeance.
