What a coincidence!
The Traveller by John Twelve Hawkes
"Meanwhile, in London, Maya is a self-possessed young woman whose everyday life conceals a strange secret:she is the last of a dynasty whose responsibility is to protect those in the human race who are differently gifted. She is called to Prague by her sick father, and learns about Gabriel and Michael, whose lives are now in serious danger. In California, a desperate race against time begins: who will track down the brothers first--the protective Maya or the murderous Boone?"
Hmmm........
:D
