The Contract: The Revelation Of The Opal (Annals Of The Common Beyond)

Psychiatric nursing student Helen Anderson comes to the prestigious Highland Academy to complete her clinical rotation. Given the exclusive nature of the behavioral institution, she's not surprised that the clientele are the children of the wealthy, the privileged, and the famous. What surprises her are the "personality defects" each child exhibits. Considered strange and dangerous by their distinguished parents, the children of Highland Academy have been hidden away. Helen finds herself caring for youngsters with unearthly powers. Her patients include the clairvoyant daughter of a Mafia family, telekinetic twins, and an eight-year-old who speaks to the dead. In defiance of the confidentiality agreement she signs, Helen begins to document her experiences-a decision that brings her into contact with the owner of Highland Academy. Far from dismissing her for violating one contract, he proposes a second. In return for her assisting him in all his endeavors, he offers Helen immortality. Helen accepts the contract, unaware of its full import or the dark secrets she will uncover during the next ten years. Others have come (and gone) before Helen. No one has ever successfully completed the contract, and Helen is coming to a horrifying conclusion: no one ever will.
