{Original Story} Having supernatural powers should feel like a blessing, but for Jack Parker, the most powerful Gifted in the world, it means he gets to be haunted by ghosts, hallucinations, and premonitions. Oh, and he's also on the run to stay one step ahead of a murderous cult and an ancient evil nicknamed Death. So much for being special. Maya Park thought her powers were incredible until she finds out about the danger they put her in. All she wants is to go home, but how can she do that without jeopardizing her family's safety? Anna van Danne prefers a typical, non-murderous lifestyle, but the cult expects more from her. If she has to kill Jack Parker and devour his Gift to stay in their good graces -- and maybe make a name for herself in the process -- then so be it. No one knows what's going to happen. All they can do is wait and see who survives and hope that Death doesn't take over the world in the meantime.

All the earth is torn asunder. There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come. Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that. Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass. Nothing will ever be the same again.
