Chasers

The small town of Winston Colorado has a secret-one that hides in its children. Long ago there were many children who suffered from the local condition. There are fewer of them now but Shelby is one of them. She was born with a ruby embedded in her skin. In the same year two other kids in town Gary and May were born with emeralds. Now a teenager Shelby nurses a crush on Gary while he sticks close to the fragile May and tries to protect her from among other things Shelbys bullying. Despite their differences however their births connect them; when May goes missing Gary needs Shelbys help. Together Shelby and Gary learn the unspeakable truth about each other-and about the chasers. Death lurks around every turn; in order to survive Shelby Gary and May must work together. It is now their responsibility to save an entire generation of people also born with their condition before a century-old grudge destroys them all.
