Sixteen-year-old Charlie Ovid's body can heals itself. Marlowe can melt or mend flesh. When a jaded female detective is recruited to escort them to safety, all three begin a journey to where other children with gifts - the Talents - have been gathered. There, the world of the dead and the world of the living threaten to collide. And as secrets within the Institute unfurl, Marlowe, Charlie and the rest of the Talents will discover the truth about their abilities, and the nature of what is stalking them: that the worst monsters sometimes come bearing the sweetest gifts. Residence: Pacific Northwest. Print run 25,000.
