After being whisked away from her home planet, Rory Emerson wishes for nothing more than to get back to her family. Her life, and the lives of her two best friends, have been flipped upside down. But the chances of the Stella-Nylum or any alien ship returning to Earth without the retaliation from humans was no longer an option. With Parqur as acting Leader, the journey back to Rinthynesko has still proved to be challenging. With so many questions still unanswered, Rory won't hesitate on taking advantage of the ship's resources in hopes of learning more about herself and why she was taken - even if that means going behind Parqur's back to talk to Heath himself. She quickly discovers that threats bigger than Heath lurk in the hidden depths of space. Threats that will put Rory and Parqur to the test if they want to make it to Rinthynesko and have any chance at getting the answers they both desperately seek.

What should've been a typical night at the local mall for Rory Emerson and her two best friends proved to be anything but when their city became host to a grim and foreboding ship suspended in the sky. When the town is invaded, Rory gets captured and wakes up alone behind strange glowing bars. After meeting Parqur, the dark haired, mysterious boy locked up next to her, she learns that she's been abducted onto the ship that remains above her home. In a race against time, Rory and Parqur team up to break out and to get her back on Earth before it's too late. Or else she'll be forced to discover the true reason the ship's ruthless Leader, Heath, has taken her. But can Rory truly trust Parqur? Despite his alluring eyes and knack for saving Rory, she is still unsure of whether or not he is even human. Without a choice Rory will do whatever it takes to get back to her family and friends. Even if that means ignoring the new truths she learns while upon the ship that make her question everything.
