“The cards tell me of the children of the stars.”
Jacey thinks her life is worthless, when she finds herself in a psychiatric hospital after a failed attempt to end her life; her wounds miraculously healed. Devin, who claims to kill on touch, is also there. When Michael arrives, bearing telekinetic powers, he insists the government, and an even darker, more powerful force, wants them dead.
In a desperate attempt to escape for their lives, the three teens find they must confront an even greater adversary, themselves - and with a prophecy forced upon them, they must find a way to accept their fate, or rebel together, as one.

Excerpt:
Trees swept by Devin as he ran. Their
gangly tendrils grasped at his clothes, tearing scratches at his skin. He
almost welcomed it. The ache to have physical contact with something, anything,
burned as a residual longing deep inside of him, but that was what the men
wanted. They knew his touch would kill, and he would not fall to that level.
It hurt, knowing he had to always stay
away, but he refused to care. No one gave a crap about him anyway. The abuse
and torture from Lament and his crew proved that was true, but they would not
break him.
He would not become their weapon. They
could go to hell.
The sound of footsteps moved behind him,
and he quickened his pace, scrambling as best he could through the darkened
branches. Sweat broke across his brow, and his lungs heaved for air. Even in
the cool, night breeze, the gray tee shirt he wore clung to his chest, hot and
damp. It had seemed like hours since he had broken free of Lament’s hell-hole
prison of a lab, and he had no idea where he was headed. All he knew was that
he had to run. He couldn’t live like that. He would not become a monster.
If only he could find a way to blend in
and hide amongst the canopy of darkness, perhaps the idiots would pass him by
unseen. Maybe he could be free.
He couldn’t go back. He would rather
die.
