When Tyler became Connor’s
interpreter, he thought all that entailed was translating the Prophet’s cryptic
messages about future events.
However, it doesn’t take him long to
realize Connor needs more than that. First and foremost, he needs a friend,
someone who will stand up for him at the Academy, the elite school they both
attend and where Connor, despite his talent, is far from popular. He also needs
someone who understands that, for him, the talent of prophecy is a curse he
would get rid of if he only could, a curse that pushes him toward substance
abuse and oblivion.
It also doesn’t take Tyler very long
before he starts seeing Connor as more than a friend, and he’s lucky enough to
have Connor return his feelings. Just as things begin to settle down, however,
the arrival of a new Prophet at the Academy threatens Connor’s hard-won and
still-fragile peace of mind.
Through it all, Tyler is all too
aware that every day brings Connor closer to being eighteen, the age of his
prophesized death, two years after their first meeting.
