In the wake of several near-cataclysmic events, humanity created the Cure, a DNA-altering antidote to death by disease and old age. But all cures come with side effects: a small percentage of the population develops a wide range of powers, some lethal to others and some lethal to the wielder.<br><br>These people are called the Estranged, hunted and shunned, safe only on the Island of Exile. It is here that Kaeva and Eddie meet ... and where they set a prophecy in motion, quite possibly sealing their own demise, and even the end of Exile.

“I mean, sometimes I wonder what the future is going to bring, and I look around at the other people here on the island and I think, could it be her? Or her? Will it be anyone?

Really liking them in the kind of way where you can put up with their snoring and God only knows what else. But I see the two of you, you and Kaeva, and you look so…righttogether, and it was such a perfect coincidence that you showed up here and that you got to stay with him and be part of his life, right? It gets me thinking that maybe there just might be a chance that I’m actually going to find someone who will look at me the way Kaeva looks at you.”


Eddie tried for amusing: “You mean with that Big Chief Thundercloud glare?”
