Nineteen-year-old Rose, a late bloomer in a family of Atypicals, discovers her ability to enter and affect people's dreams, but the longer she spends in dreams the harder it is to balance her work, her ability, and her girlfriend.
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.

Robert Graham's power of persuasion is a legitimate power: no one can refuse him, regardless of their own will. Being powered is as much a curse as it is blessing, and Graham is alone until he meets an organized group calling themselves "The Unusuals" -- who welcome him as long as he can keep his power under control, and he isn't sure it's worth the price of admission.
