{Original Story} Having supernatural powers should feel like a blessing, but for Jack Parker, the most powerful Gifted in the world, it means he gets to be haunted by ghosts, hallucinations, and premonitions. Oh, and he's also on the run to stay one step ahead of a murderous cult and an ancient evil nicknamed Death. So much for being special. Maya Park thought her powers were incredible until she finds out about the danger they put her in. All she wants is to go home, but how can she do that without jeopardizing her family's safety? Anna van Danne prefers a typical, non-murderous lifestyle, but the cult expects more from her. If she has to kill Jack Parker and devour his Gift to stay in their good graces -- and maybe make a name for herself in the process -- then so be it. No one knows what's going to happen. All they can do is wait and see who survives and hope that Death doesn't take over the world in the meantime.
