I wake up and I know something is wrong. Terribly wrong. The night is too bright. Too silent. Too still. Not a sound nor the slightest breeze comes in through the imperfectly square window. I remember this now. Or do I? My mind's chaotic and my memories are jumbled. I close my eyes tight, begging the universe that this is all just a dream-a nightmare. But the pain squeezing my heart is too profound to be fake. But this is surreal. They couldn't have found out. They couldn't. Because if they did, this means that I'm worse than dead. Much, much worse. Lynette, the only living Auri on Earth, is thriving. As she adapts to the peculiar traits of humans, she learns how to live like them, and, maybe for the worse, think like them. She falls into the easy rhythm of life but something is waiting in store for her. A group of Auri come to Earth on the lookout for a mysterious rebel and suddenly, her life turns upside down. She meets her polar opposite, but is he actually as bad as he seems? On top of that, Lynette discovers secrets that she was never meant to uncover. Will she keep them to herself or will she embark on an impossible journey to discover the truth?

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
