THE FATE OF HUMANITY COMES DOWN TO ONE LAST FIGHT . . .
The odds are stacked against Lyla Richards as the final battle looms. The Naku underestimated her before, they won't do that again. They will throw everything in their power at her to keep her from retrieving Miles.
But they don't understand human emotions. They don't understand a mother's love and how far she will go to get her son back.
And as one last secret is exposed, Lyla will have to choose humanity's fate. Because her decision can lead humanity to their ultimate success . . . or their complete domination.
For one family, fighting back isn't a choice. It's the only option.
Lyla and her adopted sons Riley and Miles are all targeted by the alien force that took over an already fragile human race. In the chaos of the Unwelcome's arrival and the struggle to survive that followed, no one asked one very basic question: why are they here?
On the run, Lyla and the cursed are seeking those answers.
The answers, though, won't do them any good if they don't survive. And their chances of that are dropping by the minute . . .
The greatest devastation in history. A secret that will alter humanity forever. Today, the true fight for survival begins.
Deep within the remnants of the United States, Lyla Richards oversees a camp of two hundred survivors. In a world where living is an everyday struggle and only through banding together can people survive, the arrival of the Unwelcome only made her job harder.
Riley Quinn and Miles Jones have been raised by Lyla for the last five years. They are also one of the cursed: the children between the ages of thirteen and eighteen whom the Unwelcome kill on sight. No questions, no pleas, just death.
Protecting one another and the people of their camp is ingrained in all of them. But now, each of them faces increased danger as the reason why the cursed have been targeted by the Unwelcome slowly comes to light.
And that truth will shock them to their core.
Now time is running out. Not just for the cursed, who are being hunted down by the Unwelcome. Not just for Lyla and her family who will face their greatest challenge yet but for all of humanity.
The world changed radically thirty-five years ago. But today, humanity's very existence is on the line. And the fight has begun that will ensure its future . . . or its annihilation.
