"The Gift Society controls everything. Gifts are the elite. Originals are the majority. Curses are monsters. Broken are better off dead. Don't question the status quo. When Gabriel transitions into a Gift, he finds himself wishing he could go back to the way things were: no prestige, no pressure, and most importantly, no additional opportunities to fail. When a new girl and her brother move in next door, he can't help but notice how different she is. Dyla is a Curse with a past she would rather leave behind. When she and her brother move into the house next to a Gift, the need to hide becomes even more apparent. This becomes increasingly difficult as Gabriel's persistence grows, threatening to break down the walls she has carefully built. When Dyla discovers Gabriel's deepest secret, everything starts to change. Can they escape, or will the deep roots of the Gift Society keep them trapped in what is "normal"?"--Back cover.
