When Prenna James was twelve years old, she immigrated to New York. Now, over four years later, she still struggles to fit in. With lines canned from sitcoms, odd custom-made glasses, and no knowledge of how to play a single card game, she is anything but ordinary. She follows a strict set of twelve rules. Don't share your secret with anyone outside of The Community. DO NOT become intimate with anyone outside of The Community. If she breaks the rules, she knows everything she loves will perish. She also knows that her friend Ethan can never know her secret. About the plague that will ravage the earth. Prenna James is not from a different place. She is from a different time.
