When his younger sister develops the Sickness, a terminal illness striking many Northern Haven teens, the race for a cure becomes personal. Joining the expedition team to Earth's glacial surface, Bleu expects extreme temperatures, not a surface ruled by ingenious predators.Rana and her fellow star beings have co-existed with Earth's top carnivores since the humans disappeared.

To prove her worth, she undertakes a dangerous mission-contacting the hostile and nearly extinct humans.But Rana's plan backfires, and Bleu's team retaliates. As war with the more advanced star being civilization looms, both Rana and Bleu separately seek a way to save their people.
