Nestled in the sleepy town of Chipping Campden, England, Julia Malone has a destiny she never imagined. Forced to drink an unknown substance, her gifts begin morphing into something altogether extraordinary. A mysterious benefactor whisks her and five other orphans to New York City, and life as they know it will never be the same. Armed with telepathy and a curious disposition, Julia sets out to make her mark as vice president of product development at Van Buren Industries. A cataclysmic secret is brewing in the labs, and has the capacity to change the world. With Claude Van Buren by her side, she never knows whether she's in the company of family, or a lunatic on the brink of world destruction. It is a madcap journey into the lives of six unique teenagers destined for greatness one way or another."That's an offer a girl can't refuse-if you'll both excuse me?" My hips sashay in rhythm with the clacking of stilettos on hardwood floors, and I silently thank God I'm female. Guys will never get away with theatrical departures like that, and for the first time in my life I feel powerful.
