In 2041, scientists created a secret lab located in Antarctica. The building was located underground with strong heaters and artificial light, generating a life-like alternative to the surface world. The underground station was virtually untraceable. Their motive was simple; engineer children who could kill anything without any remorse, create peace between the continents, communicate with all humans, deaf, blind, and mute, understand the body language of all animals known to man. They would know every language, the history of the world as we know it, how to operate over 2500 weapons and create over 500 with natural resources. They would be the ultimate survival and military machines, both for fighting and peace. The children were supplied by willing females who could not properly care for their children as an alternative to adoption or abortion. The scientists promised no harm would come to their child without the child's consent. In order for this experiment to work and work well, the children would need to be raised wanting to learn as much as they could at all costs. They would be geniuses in logic, debate, math, science, history, literature, grammar, language, fighting, strategy, mechanics, and human and animal behavior. The scientists cared for the children as their own, watching them, advancing them, teaching them. Most children were great, few were wonderful, but one- she was outstanding; Kara.

The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time.
***
Run. Don't look back.
When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go.
The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food.
When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead.
Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet.
