Defiance.

"I never considered myself lucky. I never considered myself gifted either. I was smart, sure, but I was just average and normal.

So when my powers or 'Gift' as they liked to call it appeared, I wasn't happy. I didn't want it. The older I got the harder it was to hide from the world. I didn't have a good Gift like healing or even something like flying.

My Gift was dark."

Takoda Chavez is dangerous. His powers are dangerous. After multiple partners in the war against the Rebels, people who believe in Gifted supremacy, he got tired. He became cold and distant. The only thing on his mind was survival.

When Micah comes into his life eager to be the powerful boy's partner, Takoda begins to realize not only does he have to worry about staying alive and keeping Micah alive, but also if what he's doing is right or wrong.

Is he on the right side, or has he been brainwashed?
