Alex wakes up in the middle of a frozen wasteland, in pain and beginning to freeze like everything around him. Then a voice starts talking to him in his head, directing him to Apostle. This is Alex's story, and tells of his experience as an Overseer, a normal human gifted with extraordinary powers. But will it be enough to defeat what lays ahead, under the cloak of nightfall?
In a secretive, high-tech facility, Alex-a highly trained, experimental operative-grapples with her own identity and survival. Programmed to be a flawless weapon, she begins to question her place in a world controlled by powerful men like the sinister Mr. Ashcroft. After a failed test leaves her humiliated and deemed expendable, Alex must rely on the one person who believes in her: Dr. Meyers, the scientist who created her and whose feelings for her blur the line between protector and something more. Together, they hatch a dangerous plan to defy Ashcroft's control, risking everything for freedom. But as Alex faces her deepest fears, she learns that escape may require more than just surviving-she'll have to confront the dark truth about herself.
