Significant psychological burden; carrying foreknowledge of death is depicted as genuinely devastating
What this book is about
The second Numbers novel follows Spider, son of Sam from the first book, who also bears the curse of seeing death dates in people's eyes. Set in a near-future London devastated by a terrorist attack, Spider must navigate a city in chaos while trying to protect the people he loves. Rachel Ward's YA speculative series takes its premise seriously — the burden of foreknowledge is genuinely psychological.
