Ava has always felt a strange pull toward the sky, like a beckoning she can’t explain. With her overworked, mysteriously absent parents gone more often than not, she spends her days caring for her younger brother and holding the pieces of home together. But the weight of it all is beginning to reveal just how alone she really is.
Across the galaxy, on the advanced world of Phyllos, a plague called NeuroFlare is devouring its people. After dispatching ships across the stars in a desperate search for a cure, the Council turns their gaze toward the closest genetic match, Earth, as their final hope.
Xavien, son of the Supreme Commander, was raised in the cold corridors of starships. When he’s ordered planetside to collect human test subjects, he never expects to find a seventeen-year-old girl strapped to their examination table.
Ava isn’t supposed to be on the list.
And she’s definitely not supposed to spark Xavien’s dangerous curiosity.
But something in her defies their science and binds her fate to Xavien’s.
As worlds collide and loyalties fracture, Ava must decide who to trust, what to believe, and how far she’ll go to uncover the truth buried in her past.
Some secrets are written in the stars. Others are written in our DNA.
