How comes she was found at the center of sunset park? Why is she lying about it anyway?

Nine years back, at the same time of the summer, Emelynn had lost her father. At that time, she was 12-years- old, and she received a mysterious gift from a lady named Jolene.

The gift was not so appealing; instead, it looked strange, and since she could not return it, she decided to live with it.
As she recovers in the emergency room, she starts wondering whether that was a blessing or more like a curse. The gift gives Emelynn mysterious power. But what is the importance of such power if one cannot control it?

For instance, her gift of flight nearly kills her the time it sends her crashing to the sidewalk of Sunset Park.
She has never lived a normal life since she received the gift.

.
Emelynn becomes more than determined to master her powers and decides to return to the seaside cottage where her family lived when she was young and received the gift’.

While there, Dr. Coulter helps her to unveil a secret society with people like her. Her plan works even though things turn out in a direction she didn’t intend.

The people live in a mysterious world -within a world that seems to challenge everything Emelynn earlier thought she knew.
She is now in contact with people who can help her tame her powers, although she doesn’t realize it at first.

The more she unveils, the more the truth comes out, but it leaves her wondering the people’s intentions and who to trust. She doesn’t understand the intentions of these people and looks like there are things they’re hiding from her.

The people help her realize the amount of power and skill she’s never thought she possessed.
Things don’t go smoothly as threats, strange forces at work, and some missions should be accomplished.
