Pittacus Lore finished telling the story of the Lorien Nine in the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four and Lorien Legacies Reborn series. Now he’s back with the second installment in an all-new adventure duology rooted in the real mysteries surrounding Roswell; New Mexico; that will enthrall fans of Brandon Sanderson; Jay Kristoff; and Amie Kaufman. Syd Chambers grew up on Earth with his human mother and barely remembers his alien father from Denza; who left on a mission when Syd was very young. After leaving Earth; Syd learned the truth of his father’s disappearance on the planet Ashfall—his father had died protecting a devastating secret about the history between humans and Denzans. Syd is now faced with a choice—free humanity from imprisonment on Earth; which will allow them to come into physical power beyond their wildest dreams; or destroy Earth so that humans never have a chance to enslave; torment; and kill other species again. It has been prophesied that Syd is destined to become a world-killer; but Syd is determined to choose his own fate; and knows there must be another path forward that will honor his father’s sacrifice.
