Character List

Juliette Ferrars is a young woman with super strength who begins to gain control of her powers and grows more confident. She is determined to become a leader after being institutionalized and isolated due to her lethal touch.

Aaron Warner Anderson, called Warner, transitions from antagonist to love interest, with his complexity being better understood over time. He is protective and deeply cares for Juliette, while also being vulnerable due to his past.

Kenji Kishimoto is Juliette’s best friend and provides comic relief, though this role is tiring for him. He emerges as a leader for his group and acts as a mediator among his friends.

Adam Kent is Juliette’s ex-boyfriend who struggles with her growing bond with Warner. He is deeply protective of his brother James and begins to overcome his anger by the novel's end.
