In Moribund, a dystopian city in the northern wastelands, the people are divided into two categories: the Gifted and the Commoners.
Gifted children are taken by the government at the time their abilities are discovered and brought into Facility 07 where they are given education and training. Carter, a boy with the ability to determine a person's or object's level of hostility in mere seconds, understands the need of education for the Gifted children. The training which involved firearms and combat? It seemed too unusual and sketchy. After all, Moribund seemed to have no political enemies and the last war happened decades ago.
Unwanted allies, unforseeable enemies, unanswered mysteries, and an uprising of Commoner Rebellion complicates events in Moribund and threatens lives of the Gifted.
Can Carter's abilities help him identify those he might trust? Or will he meet his demise in the hands of those he thought were heroes?

The Snowy-haired Genius
Jason Williams didn't think going out to dinner with his family was going to be any different than usual. Comments about his sexuality, some teasing from his brothers, and lots of paparazzi. You know, nothing strange at all. But a fight with his father made Jason storm out of the restaurant, down an alleyway, and suddenly his life isn't the usual anymore. He woke up in an unfamiliar dark room, and a handsome boy opened his door to explain. The snowy-haired genius was holding him captive until he got what he wanted. Life couldn't be worse. Warning: This book contains mental issues such as depression, schizophrenia, and others. If you're sensitive to that kind of thing, then you should probably think twice before reading this. Of course, if you want to read it and you're sensitive, I'm not stopping you. This book only touches upon the subjects; It doesn't go deep into suicide attempts and voices. Remember despite the hate these mental illnesses receive, I believe you. Mental illnesses are no joke, they're not something I try to use for views. I am not hating on the illnesses. I know it's hard, but they are relevant to the book so I had to include them. If you're feeling depressed, please talk to a counsellor. Or, if you're too scared for that, I'll happily listen and give you advice. Thank you! (I needed to include this because I didn't want people thinking I thought the mental illnesses were stupid. I don't, I promise. I love you, and I need you to keep fighting!)Complete
