• Hardcover edition
Charlie Ovid is a special teenager with a difficult life. He constantly suffers from beatings, but does not have a single scar on his body, because the boy's body is capable of rapid self-healing. However, Charlie is not the only one with extraordinary abilities: his friend Marlowe can melt or heal flesh. Skills that are not typical for ordinary people attract extra attention to boys.
Accompanied by detective Alice Quick, they are sent to an estate where other children with superpowers are staying. However, it turns out that the residents of the house are threatened by dark forces, which they are forced to confront. How will this fight end and will the friends learn the whole truth about their abilities?
