You never know how sick and twisted some people really are. Take Madame, for instance. You've probably never met anyone as demented as her. Why? She kidnaps kids. And that's not even the worst part. She makes them go to finishing school. When Vivienne is taken from her friends and family and forced to go to Madame's Institute for Discipline and Order, she knows she will do whatever it takes to escape. But how do you even begin to escape from a place with armed body-guards, electrified chain-link fences, forty kids who have had all the fight taken out of them, and an insane woman who will stop at nothing to never let you go?

Robin and Lindsay are both completely average teenagers, or at least until a car accident kills Lindsay. She wakes up a few days later… In Robin’s body. However, the amount of energy it would take to keep another mind alive in a single brain is incredible. Experts suspect Robin might even be a god. In an attempt to fix what has happened to them, Robin and Lindsay accept a full ride scholarship to one of the few parahuman colleges in the country qualified to teach potential gods, the California University of Supernatural Abilities. There, the two best friends meet other students like themselves, whose powers greatly outstrip the average parahuman. For every few hundred humans born completely normal, there are those born gifted. Most of those with abilities are just average people who can do something amazing, but there are a few parahumans whose ability transcends all others. Known as gods, these individuals can manipulate vast amounts of energy to their will, even bending the laws of the universe itself. The average parahuman simply exists alongside humanity; a god can reach far beyond it.
