Touch of Gray is an urban fantasy series featuring Gray Graham, a touch clairvoyant. She is one of the thousands of Psycepts, psychics or those with enhanced perception, that were genetically identified by the US government. Rather than stay in America with the possibility that she could be drafted into service or compelled to use her gifts to benefit US agencies at the expense of her freedom, Gray sought asylum in the Greater Tribal Council of the Americas (GT). The GT is a country formed following the American Civil War when various Native American / Alaskan or First Nation tribes formed an alliance and fought non-native settlers to a standstill. The GT and its neighbors the US, Canada, and Mexico are geographic allies with different ideologies. The GT grants permanent resident status to Psycepts like Gray, upon certain conditions. In exchange for her living in the GT, Gray assists police with missing persons or homicide cases. The difference is that Gray chooses which petitions she accepts and her contract has an expiration date. Gray has lived in the GT for fifteen years and has kept herself away from most of the Psycept concerns. It seems as if the rest of the world has forgotten Psycepts and moved on. However, nothing is that easy and events conspire to drag Psycepts, and Gray, back into the wider world.
