Because of what you are, the Believers will hunt you down.
Voices told Lucas Darby to run. Voices no one else can hear. He’s warned his sister not to look for him, but Rayne refuses to let her troubled brother vanish on the streets of LA. In her desperate search, she meets Gabriel Stewart, a runaway with mysterious powers and far too many secrets. Rayne can’t explain her crazy need to trust the strange yet compelling boy—to touch him—to protect him even though he scares her.
A fanatical church secretly hunts psychic kids—gifted “Indigo” teens feared to be the next evolution of mankind—for reasons only "the Believers" know. Now Rayne’s only hope is Gabe, who is haunted by an awakening power—a force darker than either of them imagine—that could doom them all.
They are our future—if they survive…

Because of what you are, the Believers will
hunt you down.
A storm is brewing on the streets of LA, one
that has intensified since a tragic and deadly confrontation claimed an
innocent life.
While Gabriel Stewart trains his army of teen
psychics to stop Alexander Reese—the obsessed leader of the Believers—the

Crystal children. They’re silencing the voices of the telepathic hive, one soul
at a time, with frightening experiments cruelly executed on vulnerable minds.
When the Believers torture a mysterious
homeless boy, Oliver Blue, they brainwash him into betraying his own. The boy
becomes a deadly pawn to take Gabriel down. As the fires of chaos burn around
him, Gabe is running out of time. He’ll need to confront his past—and the man
who made him—before the hope of peace for the future is silenced forever.

The Peculiars
Amulet Books - Now Available!On her 18th birthday, Lena Mattacascar decides to leave her mother and grandmother, and their comfortable home in the city, to search for her father who disappeared into the northern wilderness known as Scree when Lena was a child.

On the train ride north, Lena meets a young librarian, Jimson Quiggley, who is traveling to Knoster, a town on the edge of Scree, to work in the private home and library of the inventor Dr. Beasley. En route, they cross paths with the handsome young marshal Thomas Saltre. When the marshal learns who Lena's father is, he becomes enamored of her, following her to Knoster. But Lena is unsure of Saltre’s true motivations. In town Lena learns more about Dr. Beasley, his home called Zephyr House, and the strange folk who go there but who never come out again. But Lena still longs to get to Scree and find her father, even if that means confronting her deepest fears.
This dark and thrilling adventure, with an unforgettable heroine, will captivate fans of steampunk and fantasy.
