The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks.

An ancient conflict is being fought in the shadows of our modern society. An international force connecting the topmost members of the scientific and political communities, employing superior surveillance technology, seeks to monitor and control our world. A small group of enlightened beings--and their protectors--will risk their lives to fight for freedom.

Maya is hiding in plain sight in London. The attractive 26-year-old designer has abandoned the merciless violence of her father’s world, instead choosing to change her identity and live a normal life. But Maya comes from a long line of people who call themselves Harlequins—a fiercely devoted group of warriors willing to sacrifice their lives to protect a select few….

Brothers living in Los Angeles, Gabriel and Michael Corrigan have been shaped since childhood by stories that their father was a Traveler, one of a small band of prophets born with the ability to cross over to other realms and usher change into the world. The Corrigans, who may have inherited their father’s gifts—and who may be the last surviving Travelers—have always protected themselves by living “off the grid,” invisible to the intricate surveillance networks that monitor people in our modern society.

Maya learns that the brothers are in grave danger from the Tabula—a group of men who fear the power of the Travelers and have hunted them for generations. The Tabula are determined to impose order on the world by invisibly controlling it; the Harlequins’ practice of randomness and the Travelers’ strange inborn ability to leave the system and return to challenge the status quo are an intolerable threat.

Though she was trained to fight as a young girl, Maya is reluctant to go back to the cold and solitary Harlequin existence—until she finds her father dead at the hands of the enemy. Aware that the Tabula is looking for her, Maya flies to California to look for the brothers, but a ruthless mercenary named Nathan Boone is searching, too. Removing her mask of civility, she takes up the battle her father lived to fight—a path so dangerous, with stakes so high, it might well end up destroying the world. (Approx. 400 pp.)
