The year is 2319 and the world is a different place. Ozone depletion and pollution have resulted in alternate living situations. 17-year-old Lark Merope lives in a cluster of community skyrise buildings as she trains to become a veterinarian. Her ability to sense emotions in animals is slowly awakening, affecting her ability to perform her tasks.
When she's forced to leave behind her best friend Siro and the life she knows in the skyrise community, she embarks on a journey in which she must work with an unlikely ally.
Befriending an aloof hunter named Ryan from the outside world, with a life so different from her own, he becomes her only companion when she has no one else. When his dangerous family connections come to light, she is torn between depending on him to stay alive in the wilderness and being targeted a rebel or deserting him to save them both.
As a deadly disease begins to spread, it creeps closer to her family and friends inside the skyrise community. Lark must use her empath abilities to find the antidote quickly- and find out who she truly is, in the process.

They were her Filii Aurea, her Golden Children, and they were to inherit the earth. A couple centuries down the line, and the Filii Aurea are struggling to stay alive. With the great Aurean war and Aziel Aro committing perpetual genocide, they're desperate to save their race. Avani Sai and Nuri Bachmann need to find the last remaining descendent of the great Milo Aro, and possibly the last cursed Child, and defeat Aziel Aro. That might not be their biggest concern, however. A charming stranger from the Sovereign Capital and a dark force lurking in the streets seem to pose a bigger threat than perpetual genocide.Complete
