"It is a curse, not a blessing" Raevan wasn't an average seventeen year old boy, He had abilities, abilities he couldn't control, abilities that destroyed everything around him, he was alone. After the Orphanage burnt down, and Raevan was the only survivor. He secluded himself from the world and lived in an a shack in the woods. Forced to go to school by his social worker. Raevan struggles to go by school and keep his abilities a secret and keep away from students, especially the school bully Emery who takes pleasure in bullying just him mostly. I suck at descriptions as you can see but read the book, its quite nice. As you can see it contains boy on boy action so if you don't like it, don't read it. Cast.
