Description

Jackson Opus a toujours été doté d'un grand sens de la persuasion mais jamais il n'aurait pensé qu'il descendait de la plus puissante lignée d'hypnotiseurs de la planète. Le jeune homme jubile à l'idée de fréquenter l'institut Sentia mais déchante lorsqu'il réalise ce que cela implique. En effet, Jackson devra trouver le moyen d'utiliser ses pouvoirs assez rapidement pour sauver ses amis, ses parents et même son gouvernement.

Jackson Opus has always been persuasive, but he doesn't know that he's descended from the two most powerful hypnotist bloodlines on the planet. He's excited to be accepted into a special program at the Sentia Institute - but when he realizes he's in over his head, Jackson will have to find a way to use his powers to save his friends, his parents, and his government.

Original title:The Hypnotists
