IN THE FACE OF A LOOMING PURGE OF THE GIFTED, AGENT VALLON DRAKE MUST STOP A NIGHTMARE PLOT TO SLAUGHTER AMERICA'S GIFTED CHILDREN.

The American Geological Survey, a secret arm of Homeland Security, protects America from foreign terrorists and America's Gifted population-people who can reshape the landscape with their strange power. Agents of the AGS have always used their talent to preserve their country, but now Homeland Security turns against them and declares them the enemy-an enemy they want to imprison or kill.

After surviving the attempted destruction of the American Midwest, a courageous Vallon and her allies rush to take action to save their kind, but the meltdown of the AGS leaves all remaining agents on their own. When betrayal leads to bloodbaths and torture, a bloodied Vallon must face the most sinister enemy yet.

How far will she go to stop an imminent war between Gifted and unGifted? A war humans are sure to lose...?

If you like Harry Dresden, mixed with a unique new magic, you'll enjoy the daring adventures of Vallon Drake.
