Ethan Fost has reluctantly returned to Warren's Refuge of Neglected Gifted, a place where he learns how to control his Gift so he'll never use it. Once there, Ethan meets a student who may or may not be a part of the Swift family, has to deal with a new intern who has little patience and a big temper, and competes in a game which takes place deep in the woods. Now, after winning in the obstacle course, Ethan, Timothy, and Conrad take a trip to Warren's School for the Gifted, where hidden dangers are waiting. Ethan will have to protect himself by summoning the one thing he's forbidden to use...His Gift.
