The souls receive more flowers than the living because remorse is stronger than gratitude... ∞ ∞ ∞ ZOEY ORTIZ ISN'T JUST ANY GIRL. She was born with a gift. A gift that makes her a very special girl. A Gifted. And although she wasn't blessed with one of the most prized gifts, like scrolling through time, or going to exploit other universes, it's a very useful gift. A gift that a lot of people would want to possess. BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T JUST SEE THE SOULS. That would be really useful but not in no way note-worthy. Countless Gifted before her had been able to do that. Seeing the souls - ghosts. But Zoey is different. She doesn't just see the souls. SHE CONTROLS WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES. All she needs is a simple touch. Only one touch and she can end someone's life. It only takes long enough for her to see the pain in their eyes, feel their soul leaving their body and then watching the light go out of their eyes. ANYONE WHO TOUCHES HER HAS PRECISELY TWO SECONDS TO LIVE. She killed her own mother. Just like so many more people after that - all accidents, but still, she killed them. HER TOUCH IS LETHAL. HER TOUCH IS POWER. She's the only thing holding the world together. SHE WAS MADE TO BE THE ULTIMATE KILLER AND PROTECTOR. To love and to hate. To kill and to protect. To save and to punish. IS THERE ANY GREATER CURSE? ADD A BADASS MOUTH-WATERING GIFTED BOY HELL-BENT ON PROTECTING HER TO THE MIX AND YOU GOT YOURSELF A VERY BIG PROBLEM... CAN THE WORLD TAKE THE WAR THAT'S COMING? Because she refuses to sink without a fight. EVEN IF IT KILLS HER.

"Mooooorrrrrrrreeeeeeee, this book is like air, i need it!" @noromance101 "These chapters are written BEAUTIFULLY! You are, without a doubt, my favorite writer on this site. " @nagykt "Reading this feeds my soul." @Yrthraethra Sixteen-year-old Mirra can see people's memories. She is a Shadow Weaver, one of the outlawed, glitter-eyed race feared in her land and forced into brutal slavery as children. She and her brother Kel have escaped their fate by hiding near the frozen mountains. But when bounty hunters snatch Kel, Mirra injured and unable to track long distances will lose him unless she gives herself up to his captors. As as a Shadow Weaver who's survived childhood and whose golden-flecked irises have faded, concealing her talent, Mirra's own value is priceless on the black-market. Taken to a lawless town in the northern territories, Mirra convinces her captors to sell her to a mysterious young man destined for the same province as the officer who has bought her brother. The young man is the Kingdom's missing Prince, feared dead after his escort was attacked on an expedition. He has been in hiding, waiting for a Shadow Weaver whose skill he can use to discover who ordered his assassination. But before he will risk breaking his father's law and taking Mirra to the royal court, he must test her talent and her ability to hide it. If Mirra fails, her hopes of seeing her brother again will be cut by the noose around her neck.
