"He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world." - Horace I have never been the one to seek acceptance, nor have I sought out attention. The world is a large place; What am I but just another passing face on the street? My name is Kelsey Winter. I am a wallflower, and this is my diary...

Essences and humans never got along together. They even bordered on warfare. But when Essences start to lose their Essence, the Royal Court suspects the humans of doing it.

Tori has just been sent to The School For The Gifted. Her parents sent her there without warning or even a goodbye. Her whole life has just been turned upside down because of her "talent". She can move things with her mind. Anything and everything. When she arrives at the school she meets many new friends and she also makes some enemies. But her life now is for once good. Maybe it'll stay that way.. Maybe not.

Seleman used to be a world where to be human was to be an anomaly. But now, with the human population outweighing that of the original inhabitants, the world has become a dangerous place for the Kingdom (those that hold the blood of animals in their veins) and those under the Golden curse (people with strange magic to their names). After the battles had finished raging the non-humans were banished to the north, though the feuds still burned and soon most were destroyed. Now the south flourishes with the human population as those that survived in the north struggle to get past the humans that still hunt on the abandoned streets of the once great cities. Alexis Scarrow is of the Kingdom, jackdaw blood pumping in her veins. She must escape, with her friend Hawk, who is under the Golden curse and holds the power of heightened speed and senses, and a group of other non-humans from the desolate city she has come to call home as it is invaded by the malicious humans. .........................................
