The life of Alexandra Collins, better known as Lexi, along with nineteen others changes drastically, not when time stops, but when it starts again.
After living the same day over and over for over twelve years, each day a mundane replication of the last, its hostages utterly oblivious to its repetition, Lexi's faced with an awakening in the most ironic form; she sleeps in.
Navigating a world that seemingly stayed on repeat without her wouldn't have been possible without those who suffered the same enlightenment as herself, the shocking truth of life greater than themselves and new found abilities that broke any boundaries physics had put in place, opening her eyes to a whole new world.
Hindered however by an invasion that nobody could have expected, fighting for their survival was the least of their worries, the world's fate now their sole responsibility.

Now Luna and her friends are learning first hand what being on the front lines of a war is like. Now they are finally learning what it was the government had kept so secret for six years. Now it is all up to them, but more specifically, up to Luna to stop The Eye and the White Sand from ruining everything.
