The Resonant Duology begins with The Nobody People (2019), in which a small number of people around the world begin manifesting unusual abilities. Rather than putting on costumes, they find themselves at the center of a cultural and political crisis as the public reacts with fear and hostility.

The Somebody People (2020) continues the story as the Resonants attempt to build a community and claim their place in a society that wants them controlled or eliminated. Proehl draws on the tradition of X-Men-style allegory but grounds it in realistic prose and contemporary American politics.
