Karen Lord - The Galaxy Game (epub)

On the verge of adulthood, Rafi attends the Lyceum, a school for the psionically
gifted. Rafi possesses mental abilities that might benefit people . . . or control
them. Some wish to help Rafi wield his powers responsibly; others see him as a
threat to be contained. Rafi's only freedom at the Lyceum is Wallrunning: a game
of speed and agility played on vast vertical surfaces riddled with variable gravity
fields.

Serendipity and Ntenman are also students at the Lyceum, but unlike Rafi they come
from communities where such abilities are valued. Serendipity finds the Lyceum as
much a prison as a school, and she yearns for a meaningful life beyond its gates.
Ntenman, with his quick tongue, quicker mind, and a willingness to bend if not break
the rules, has no problem fitting in. But he too has his reasons for wanting to
escape.

Now the three friends are about to experience a moment of violent change as seething
tensions between rival star-faring civilizations come to a head. For Serendipity, it
will challenge her ideas of community and self. For Ntenman, it will open new
opportunities and new dangers. And for Rafi, given a chance to train with some of the
best Wallrunners in the galaxy, it will lead to the discovery that there is more to
Wallrunning than he ever suspected . . . and more to himself than he ever dreamed.
