Yet the gifts and talents of some of our most brilliant kids may never be recognized because these children fall into a group known as twice exceptional, or "2e". Twice exceptional kids are both gifted and diagnosed with a disability - often ADHD or an autism spectrum disorder - leading teachers and parents to overlook the child's talents and focus solely on his weaknesses.

After Vampire King Daemon uses Armageddon to transform the disloyal Vampires at the Spire back into mortals, the Ever Dark still has many surprises in store for our heroes.
