Prodigy

Cooper Ilan, age fifteen, would come across as your average high school student. However, there's something more to him that most people wouldn't understand, and therefore must be kept secret. This has been a part of Cooper's life since he was a mere six years old, though he was unsure of what exactly it was that separated him from the crowd. Finally, Cooper discovers that he is one of a select few people who is able to control what is called "aura." With this, he is able to see and communicate with the spirits left behind by the dead, and much more. However, Cooper is separated from even that crowd, as he is what is called the "Prodigy," and his power stands above the rest. Cooper must learn to harness this power in order to fight against the worst enemies of the Masters of Aura, Death's Army: the spirits whose anger at their death leads them to the Realm of Despair to pursue the dark arts.
