A collection of three books: The Tomb Removed from Time, Haunt of the Dying Melody, and Heartbeat Between Two Worlds Just tough it out and finish senior year. That's all Ethan Harper is worried about as the calendar flips over to a new year. With good grades and no bullies at school, that's a task that can be accomplished easily enough by continuing to coast through. Ethan's issues come from his lack of friends, his fear of groups and being touched, and the immense guilt he harbors due to the circumstances surrounding his parents' deaths. With his sister putting her college education on hold to come back home and raise him, he feels like he's been holding her back. The life he's come to understand as normal gets thrown out the window the same day he meets an odd new girl at his bus stop. On her first day, Vancouver is attacked by a group of superpowered terrorists, revealing to the world just what power and evil can accomplish. With dozens of civilians burned alive and a building swallowed by the earth that it sat on, Ethan can barely comprehend the powers and cruelty he witnesses. It only gets more confusing when the new girl tells him that he has a power just like those terrorists. Forging a new life for himself, Ethan learns that greatness and heroism can come from anyone, even a lonely boy who struggles getting hugged.
