It is the year 2913, and civilization has fractured. In the gleaming North, the chosen live behind clean walls and quiet skies. In the broken South, the forgotten survive among the bones of the old world. When seventeen-year-old Alyssa Adler discovers a connection to forces older than civilization itself, she is pulled into a conflict involving alien overseers, ancient vampyres, and a cosmic power tied to the planet's very soul. Old secrets are surfacing. Long-buried factions are moving. And the world has begun a journey toward a destiny far greater than anyone imagined.
