Since Weylyn saved her from an angry wolf on her eleventh birthday, she’s known that a relationship with him isn’t without its risks, but as anyone who’s met Weylyn will tell you, once he wanders into your life, you’ll wish he’d never leave.īeasts of Extraordinary Circumstance tells the story of Weylyn Grey’s life from the perspectives of the people who knew him, loved him, and even a few who thought he was just plain weird.

From freak storms to trees that appear to grow over night, Weylyn’s unique abilities are a curiosity at best and at worst, a danger to himself and the woman he loves. As amazing as these powers may appear, they tend to manifest themselves at inopportune times and places. That tornado was the first of many strange events that seem to follow Weylyn from town to town, although he doesn’t like to take credit. But when he single-handedly stopped that tornado on a stormy Christmas day in Oklahoma, he realized just how different he actually was. Orphaned, raised by wolves, and the proud owner of a horned pig named Merlin, Weylyn Grey knew he wasn’t like other people.

As Zadie feels her sister start to slip away, she will have to decide what lengths she is willing to go to to find their mother, knowing that if she chooses wrong, she could lose them both for good. Against Zadie’s better judgement, she and Finn hit the highway, using Finn’s echoes to retrace Nora’s footsteps and uncover the answer to the question that has been haunting them for years: Why did she leave?īut the more time Finn spends in their mother’s past, the harder it is for her to return to the present, to return to herself. Now, it’s up to Finn to convince her sister that not only is their mom still out there, but that she wants to be found. When Finn wakes up alone in an aviary with no idea of how she got there, she realizes who the memory belongs to: Nora. On the afternoon of her graduation party, Finn is seized by an “echo” more powerful than anything she’s experienced before: a woman singing a song she recognizes, a song about a bird… Zadie’s estranged younger sister, Finn, can’t see into the future, but she has an uncannily good memory, so good that she remembers not only her own memories, but the echoes of memories other people have left behind. But not even her psychic abilities were able to prevent their mother from vanishing one morning.

The older of her two daughters, Zadie, should have seen it coming, because she can literally see things coming.
