B A Starling

Mystic Children, The Beginning B A Starling

When Doctor Amanda Stanley receives her dream job offer to work as a psychiatrist at a new school run by the FBI for Gifted Children, she quickly finds that the FBI, its controls, its unfeeling bureaucracy and children don't mix. The Children's refusal to cooperate and live by the rules has already driven the FBI near its breaking point. The Facility's personnel are leaving at an alarming rate, including the former psychiatrist who was driven to the verge of insanity. Just when Amanda believes she has started to transform the School, she realizes that the children may be in charge of the "asylum" and may have their own goals. Had the children driven the prior psychiatrist to the verge of insanity just to get her there? How had they found her? Why did they need her? What were they truly capable of? What are their intentions? Before she is able to answer those questions, Amanda is put into a situation where she must risk everything, including her life and the exposure of her own secrets in a way she never imagined. She must place her life in the hands and the minds of the Children, or thousands of people will be killed. This is the first book of a series
