The seemingly un-extraordinary teens—Sloane Matt Ines Albie and Esther—had been brought together by a clandestine government agency because one of them was fated to be the “Chosen One” prophesized to save the world. With the goal achieved humankind celebrated the victors and began to mourn their lost loved ones. Ten years later though the champions remain celebrities the world has moved forward and a whole younger generation doesnt seem to recall the days of endless fear. But Sloane remembers. Its impossible for her to forget when the paparazzi haunt her every step just as the Dark One still haunts her dreams. Unlike everyone else she hasnt moved on; shes adrift—no direction no goals no purpose. On the eve of the Ten Year Celebration of Peace a new trauma hits the Chosen: the death of one of their own. And when they gather for the funeral at the enshrined site of their triumph they discover to their horror that the Dark Ones reign never really ended.(less)
