Robert Gorham always gets what he wants. But the power of persuasion is as potent a blessing as it is a curse. Robert is alone until a group of strangers who can do impossible things-produce flames without flint, conduct electricity with their hands, and see visions of the past-welcome him.They call themselves Unusuals and they give Robert a new name too: DAMIEN. Finally, finally he belongs. As long as he can keep his power under control.But control is a sacrifice he might not be willing to make.
