Three sisters come together for the first time since birth: Nessa Kurland, a werewolf with powers she has learned to control; Delphine, who grew up knowing there was more to their family's story than was being said; and finally, the chimera, a construction of their father's lab, whose very existence threatens them all. Now that all three live at their father's property and laboratory facility in the Pacific Northwest, what will the family's future hold?

Nine months have passed since psychic Mira Tejedor last walked the halls of Anthony Faircloth's adolescent mind. All but family now, Mira is relocating to Charlotte, NC, not only for a much-needed change of scenery, but to further her burgeoning relationship with Dr. Thomas Archer. On the eve of her move, however, a new threat emerges. Young girls from every corner of Charlotte are falling catatonic, a condition eerily similar to the illness from which Mira rescued Anthony the previous fall.

Thirteen-year-old Anthony Faircloth hasn't spoken a word in almost a month, and with each passing day his near-catatonic state worsens. No doctor, test, or scan can tell Anthony's distraught mother what has happened to her already troubled son. In desperation she turns to Mira for answers, hoping her unique abilities might succeed where science has failed. At their first encounter, Mira is pulled into Anthony's mind and finds the child's psyche shattered into the various movements of Modest Mussorgsky's classical music suite Pictures at an Exhibition.

Pagan Jones went from America's sweetheart to fallen angel in one fateful night in 1960: the night a car accident killed her whole family. Pagan was behind the wheel and driving drunk.

But all of that is about to change.

All over the country, a strange phenomenon is happening. Some teenagers who die aren't staying dead. They are coming back to life, but they are no longer the same - they stutter, and their reactions to everything are slower. Termed "living impaired" or "differently biotic," they are doing their best to fit into a society that doesn't want them. Fitting in is hard enough when you don't have the look or attitude, but when almost everyone else is alive and you're not, it's close to impossible.

With Gaia's graduation from high school, Pascal's best-selling series comes to an end...only to be reborn again. Can you feel the fear? Gaia learned what it's like to feel fear - and it wasn't pretty. Now, just in time for her last few weeks of high school, she's back to her normal, fearless self. Unfortunately, everything else is far from normal. An evil business empire is trying to manufacture and sell anti-fear drugs to U.S. Army soldiers. Gaia wants to call in the CIA, but it's risky: It means playing by a whole new set of rules.

Gaia is again forced to choose between her father and her uncle in the next installment of this edgy, urban series. Has the impossible happened? Can Gaia at last feel fear? Having been injected with a serum by her uncle, Loki, Gaia is now experiencing some strange emotions, but being unfamiliar with certain feelings she is not sure whether this is fear. Heather, on the other hand, is more than willingly to give up her own fear gene.

Finally sure of her feelings for Ed, Gaia is devastated after an attempt is made on his life, especially since she cannot seem to go back to her formerly fearless state, prompting her to isolate herself from him and her other friends.

My uncle and my father. I used to be able to tell them apart. Not anymore. Because they're both the same. They both want to destroy me....

I thought I loved Sam.He betrayed me. Now he's gone. I thought I loved my uncle. He doesn't know what love is. He only wants to use me. Who's left?

They say that old habits die hard. I have to agree. Just look at my father. He still hasn't kicked the habit of abandoning me. But that's all right. Because if he can run...so can I.

Devastated by her father's absence, Gaia is offered a home by the mother of Mary Moss, who suggests to Gaia that she live in Mary's old room. Gaia accepts, and suddenly finds herself in a family desperate to fill a void. Meanwhile, Tom is on assignment in Germany, and learns of a terrorist plot to kidnap Gaia and use her DNA for some hidden purpose.

Gaia returns to New York. She's living with her father, she's with Sam, and she's even hanging out with Ed again. But Ed has a secret - one that's tearing him apart. Meanwhile, an imprisoned Loki receives word that Gaia is back in the States. Overwhelmed with rage, he vows to escape and exact revenge on Tom - and take Gaia back forever.

Gaia is shocked to learn "Loki" is her uncle, not her father. Now, with Loki captured and back in New York, Gaia and her father can hold the reunion of their dreams - and Gaia finally learns the truth of her mother's murder and her father's disappearance. Gaia wants to return to New York, but can it be possible for Gaia and her friends to live normal lives now?

I finally have Sam. I finally have a family. I finally have a way out. What's so bad about that?

Gaia Moore is genetically incapable of feeling fear. In this story, Ella remains obsessed with the notion of wiping Gaia off the face of the earth and hires a hit-man to finish off the job.
