Description
Everyone wants to be special. All people born after the great Bestowment have a special ability- the descendants of the Gods' fantastic powers- an endowment, that makes them stand out from the crowd. Some can float on thin air, some can breathe ice, and some can shoot lasers from their eyes. It's what makes us human, and everyone has a special endowment that they're born with. Everyone except... Valorie Brown. Valorie's life is hard in a lot of ways. She's an only child, a young high-schooler who lives with her single father. She doesn't have any powers, and so she gets picked on a lot at school. She has only one friend, a girl named Janis who also has no gift from the gods... but none of that lasts long. Soon, Valorie will be moving to the high-tech city of Nison, and it was nothing like what she was used to. How will she function as a powerless freak in her new home? Will anyone ever accept her the way Janis did? Will she be shipped off to U.S.I.D.D. if she never gets her endowment? But most importantly... Valorie is drowning in questions about who she is, and the person her mother used to be... What is it that she doesn't she know about herself? What was her mother hiding from them?
