The Silent Prey

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?
