In an event that shakes the foundations of the world, thousands find themselves with new powers. Initially thought to be miracles of science, prejudice and fear soon bring danger from the darkness.

Fenris Trygg lost everything he loved when the Gifting came. Cynical and bitter, he keeps himself at a distance from everyone, especially those who care about him the most. But when a charming redhead crosses his path, he may have met the one person who can tear down his walls.

Orphaned at age seventeen, Sara Gardien is vivacious and bright, while hiding a dark past. The child of Gifted parents, she shows no signs of a Gift, and fits into neither social caste. Determined to make her own way, she sets her sights on what she wants and allows nothing to stand in her way.

Two damaged souls find each other, but when a new threat strikes, can they fight past the pain to stay together and defeat a common enemy? Or will the Gifting ultimately lead to their death and destruction?

With X-Men vibes and a sprinkling of folklore, this sci-fi romance will have you asking the question—when undeniable sparks happen between two people, is it science or magic?
