"The darkness gets us all eventually. It's just a matter of when."
Twin sisters Sage and Willow have abilities that let them see into the future. Even if it's only by a couple of seconds, those abilities make them some of the most dangerous people on the planet. And now, they're targets.
It started with a mistake. Brought against their will to an academy for people like them, Sage and Willow are trained. The question is, for what? Everyone says it's to use their powers better. To have more control. Yet it only takes a bit of an effort to delve deeper and the real purpose of the academy emerges.
It's the only thing they couldn't predict.
The truth was so much worse.
