Chloe Pembroke can't get lost.

Ever since last summer, the glowing paths that only she can see have refused to lead her astray. Being a normal high school freshman isn't in the cards, apparently--no matter how much Chloe might want to avoid standing out.

Then a researcher named Dr. Oliver Adair shows up on her doorstep and invites her to the compound, a facility that trains people with gifts like Chloe's. Joining the compound’s asset program might just be her best chance of figuring out what's happening to her.

But the compound isn't what it seems, and when Chloe's only friend in the program disappears, she'll have to break the rules and use her power to uncover the truth . . . before she finds out what it really means to lose your way.

LOST is a companion short story to the Compound Series.
