Sable Mosley is what the government calls Diseased-she starts fires with her mind-and their assassins hunt her relentlessly... When Sable and her friends, who also have supernatural abilities, find themselves shipwrecked, it seems like all there is left to do is to wait for the Diseased Affairs and Operations to find and kill them. Then a ghost from the past comes to their aid. However, Sable and her friends don't stay safe for long. The DAO captures them, demanding to know what the Bond is. Sable thinks it has something to do with her and Brandon, but she doesn't know exactly what. Can she find the answers and save her friends and herself? Or will the DAO destroy them all?
