Isn't it strange that humans have never found any form of life outside of our planet?
There are at least two billion stars in our Milky Way, and one hundred billion galaxies exist in just the observable universe alone.
Maybe we're just not searching hard enough.
Maybe other life is out there and just isn't intelligent enough to grasp the idea of other worlds.
But what if it is?
And it's just waiting for the right time to strike.

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

One false number is all it takes for Etheodra to discover that there is more to the universe than her planet, and to find an unlikely friend. Let's assume we are not living on earth. That there is a place, far away, that we look at, thinking it is a star. And they are looking back at us, thinking the same. PS: Thanks a lot to classicandvampire for the cover :)
