This book concludes the Accident Zone Trilogy.---
How could gaining power be so terrifying? As powerful as this new sensation felt, he was still as weak as a fledgling before them, and now it was written clearly on his soul. He could fight them now, but he had no idea where to begin.
Each beat of his heart was one beat closer to death. He had run out of time. He turned away from the men and fled, passing the few rooms in the hallway and escaping down the second set of stairs to the front door. The guards on the balcony shouted something, and he didn't turn-if he stopped, he'd die-and gunshots cracked through the night, jolting his heart as badly as if they had connected to him. He was going to die, he was dead already, and this was all borrowed time. The ghost of Rhianna's eyes bore into the back of his head and prickled at his neck as he ran in the darkness.
