A girl born into nothing. A prince who hates his family. A world encased in water. Maliyah Adley was content with life. Despite the conditions caused by The Collapse, it was all she knew. Then, her family disappeared. Reaching out wasn’t an option—the Royals would kill her if she did. She had to become self-sufficient, silently growing up in the Roots, until her eighteenth birthday, when she finally decided to swim up to the dock, bow her head by the Lavender Crystalline, and pray. That’s when Alaric, youngest prince of the Great Cherry, makes an appearance.

They infect the strong and healthy to use as hosts, leaving the rest of the human population to rot. Forced to drop out of school to support the family farm, Sheldon struggles to find anything positive to focus on his life—especially his drifting parents and social life. But when the ruthless aliens make their terrifying selections and the town is now under siege, Sheldon must focus on an escape plan. Desperate, and on the run, he assembles an unexpected group of friends, hoping to find answers—hoping to find help.

When a skateboarding accident hurls 17-year-old Joshua Tyler into a dismal future overrun by flesh-eating mutants, he taps into the strength and courage hidden within him and manages to stay alive, only to discover his horrifying relationship to the scientific genius who brought all life on Earth to the brink of annihilation. Aided by Nadia, a beautiful warrior student who believes he may be the prophesized savior sent to rescue her people, Josh learns to fight for survival.

At eight years old, moving to the cabin in the middle of the woods seemed like a never-ending vacation, even without my mom. The emptiness of her absence was filled with adventure and exploration and, of course, my dad. His thoughts on it were probably far different from mine, though. I mean, an attack of biowarfare on our home that killed countless and forced the rest to live underground, that’s enough to cause at least a few gray hairs and more than a few sleepless nights. Eight years later, it was just another normal day in the woods, when the stranger showed up.

Caught between survival and the search for truth, Sheldon fights to reclaim his humanity in the face of alien deception. For ten years, Sheldon Hickory believed the alien intellect’s initial visit was friendly—one where the idealism behind their global encounter was a step toward Earth’s salvation. Yet, the second wave’s brutality shattered this ideal. Sheldon believed it was a virus that mutated their species and split their vision in two. This dichotomy allowed Sheldon to reconcile the horror with the hope, to see the violence as an unfortunate byproduct of a noble aim gone awry.

As a traitor to the human resistance, Sheldon attempts to abandon his simple farm life and newfound friends to fit in with this new alien movement. Proving to be more powerful than most of the infected, Sheldon is soon given important leadership roles–deciding if new human recruits are strong and healthy, or simply executed.

The infected teen, with the power to heal the sick and injured, is now given a pivotal role in the resistance against the powerful alien movement. But as a second wave of the extra-terrestrial forces cripples the coast and a bounty is put on him, Sheldon is forced into hiding. On the brink of a nuclear end-of-world counter strike, Sheldon and a small group of survivors frantically seek shelter. And, somehow, in the midst of war, Sheldon can’t help but find himself falling in love again–and the timing is terrible.
