Synopsis

This is the synopsis for my NaNoNovel. It's better than it was but it's still not that great. Eh, well...here vwe go!

A girl running from herself. A boy with nowhere left to run. Cinni and Salem meet under odd circumstances in the outskirts of Yellowstone National Park one September, completely unaware of how life changing their meeting will be. Cinni, a head-strong girl running from a secret agency working under the noses of the US government, after recently discovering and being confronted about powers she never knew she had. Salem, a quiet, soft-spoken boy visiting with his photographer parents and generally hiding away from the world, never quite excepted. He tends to use his written words to capture the moment instead of capturing it in a frame.

Tragedy strikes, however, and Salem's parents and sister are killed. As the two bond over their seemingly hopeless futures, they decide to team up, changing their fates forever. Together, they set off on a journey across the USA, not sure what they will find, but certain that they will never look back.

But nothing can ever stay the same, it seems. Feelings change as they make their way across the Northwestern US, and everything begins to get closer and harder, and little by little the life they have learned to live begins to collapse beneath their feet. Just as it seems that they were learning to lean on each other, everything is torn apart by something that only started out as a small piece of paper yet now seems to be a full on battle of power, feelings, wit, and even magic.

With the odds against her, especially after a traumatizing accident causes her loss in more ways than one, Cinni has to try and pull it together before everything, including never being able to see her family again, whatever Salem and she are, her incredibly strong powers that like to make themselves seen whenever she isn't thinking about them, and her crazy new idea which might just get a lot of people hurt for nothing, falls apart and she loses everything she's come to know and love enough to fight for. Maybe even enough to come to terms with who she really is, and what exactly she's going to do about it.
