Twelve years after the War, the world has largely reforged itself into something stable, if vastly different than it once was. Mairead and Jerry Duncan, now grown, discover some terrible things about their past, even as a new threat slowly and subtly worms its way through the population of the Gifted. Armed only with their intellect and what hints Sharley's increasingly imperfect gift can give them, they must do all they can to find what (and who) is needed to head off the disease that might not truly be a disease at all -- a risk not to the body, but to the very souls of the Gifted themselves. In tandem, and occasionally alongside them, Sharley must find whatever it is that's interfering with her ability to read the flow of Time. Such a thing ought to be impossible -- but in a post-War world, it's starting to seem as though nothing is impossible anymore.
