Falling in love. Evading the authorities. Chasing the rabbits.
Now high school sophomores, the self-styled “Freaks” are back in class in quiet Quapaw City, Arkansas. They grapple with the ordinary challenges of everyday teen life: cliques, cars, and crushes. While everything appears normal on the surface, looks have rarely been more deceiving. A secret government task force—fully aware of the unusual powers the Freaks have acquired—is determined to capture them. Even as the mysterious Baltar Sterne shares ancient wisdom and offers hope, a new menace silently emerges in the woods outside of town. Clever, inexorable, and far more lethal than the Freaks’ first superhuman foe, this traveler from another world possesses powers that can only be described as godlike. The Freaks and their town will be tested in horrific ways they are powerless to predict or even imagine.
Falling in love. Evading the authorities. Chasing the rabbits.
Being a teenager is complicated enough without superpowers—and the Freaks are about to discover just how much worse things can get.
Back at school for their sophomore year in quiet Quapaw City, Arkansas, the young superheroes are trying to navigate the familiar minefield of teenage life: cliques, cars, crushes, and the ever-changing rules of friendship. On the surface, everything seems almost normal. But appearances have never been more deceiving.
A secret government task force knows about their extraordinary abilities and is determined to capture them. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Baltar Sterne offers ancient wisdom and a glimmer of hope, even as something far more terrifying begins to stir in the woods beyond town.
Intelligent, relentless, and deadlier than any enemy the Freaks have encountered, a mysterious traveler from another world has arrived. Its powers border on the godlike, and its intentions remain terrifyingly unclear. As the threat grows, the Freaks must confront dangers beyond anything their abilities—or their imaginations—have prepared them to face.
With their freedom at risk, their friendships under pressure, and their hometown in the path of an unimaginable menace, the Freaks are running out of time to discover what they're truly capable of.
Because having superpowers doesn't mean you can save everyone.
