The Gifted Ones The Fairytale

Cheater--bounced from foster home to foster home since a fire at age five--runs away in search of the endless fairytale destination emphasized by her late mother. The young girl's picture dawns every post in every city and the law seeks her for murder. She has nothing left to lose on her search, except her freedom.

Jazz--good-boy-gone-bad--turns to crime after his mother is hospitalized and his seventeen-year-old sister dies at the hands of his stepfather. Longing to free himself of the Beast, he struggles with the bitter taste of defeat as his mother's life balances between his world and the next.

When Cheater encounters Jazz in the midst of mugging a ten year old boy, Jazz's hopeless perspective changes. Cheater has that effect on people; she just doesn't know why. But Jazz knows why. He's been the recipient of her unusual "power," so he tails her, forcing her to comprehend that their connection reaches further back than the twenty-four hours they've been acquainted.

In spite of deadly doubts, Cheater welcomes her new companion on their journey for truth and their search for Paradise.

Bonded by familiarity, fate and fairytale, an evil awaits their arrival--the menacing, faceless monster who haunts Cheater's dream. The end is coming, and The Gifted Ones will write the path.
