Brandy Smith has a secret. Something she's never told anyone. Initially she thought her dream about the boy wandering into traffic was just that; a dream. Albeit a dream of the death of something so innocent is horrible, it is not unheard of. It couldn't be more than a coincidence, could it?
But whem the second vision occurred and just as the first, the events played out just as they did in her hallucination. Just as she was starting to consider herself certifiably insane, a man she had never met before comes to her school claiming that she's special. Obviously she didn't believe him at first-no sane almost adult would, but this man was different. He knew things no one else knew-not even herself.
With the promise of learning to control her peculiar ability, she follows the man to a remote town in Washington. There, she meets people like herself. All is well until Brandy starts discovering mysteries that no one seems to know the answers to.
With people in the shadows trying to uncover the truth between their abilities, the friends form an unbreakable bond.
Follow Brandy and her new friends on their quest to save the world and discover who they really are. They will face betrayal, love, and hardship that they never even thought possible.

And did I mention his prophetic dreams? He meets a teenage girl with an even stranger condition; bad things happen to anyone who hurts her in any way, and she has no idea why. Then add in some rich bullies, a terrifying memory block, a long-dead magician who tended to dress strangely, Tarot cards, a Ouija board, a family curse, and the raising of a departed spirit who has a taste for Polish sausage. The result? Why, a love story, of course.Complete
