    About this ebook

    Parker is a seventeen year old girl with a curse: with a single touch of her hand, she can kill someone.

    She has spent her life running from Covera Corporations, a place that captures Rares like her and uses them as their own personal weapons.

    When they find her and bring her back to their headquarters, Parker is given the option to either join them, or be forced into compliance.

    But the choice was never hers to make.

    Note: This is a SHORT STORY, not a full novel.

      White obscured the man as he waddled down the old dirt path, which was disappearing under the snowfall. I brought the axe down one last time before I paused, stepping back in reflex as the wood split, each half tumbling in an unpredictable direction.
