If The Monster deemed it so, then it shall be ...
When veteran astronaut Greg O'Dunn answers a desperate distress call from a dying world, he discovers a landscape of ash and thousands of orphaned alien children. With her final breath, the regal Queen Hyva entrusts Greg with her people's survival-and specifically the safety of her daughter, Victoria, and nephew, Viktor.
Smuggling the children to Earth is only the beginning of the nightmare. Upon arrival, the survivors are seized by the enigmatic General Alden, a man whose obsession with the children's "preternatural" potential borders on the fanatical. Forced into a world of military oversight and fractured identities, Victoria and Viktor are raised apart, unaware of the royal blood pulsing in their veins or the true nature of the powers manifesting within them.
As Victoria's "Emerald Sight" begins to reveal glimpses of a terrifying future, and Viktor is groomed by the General to be an elite military weapon, Greg must navigate a treacherous landscape of political corruption and emotional betrayal to reclaim the children.
But as a long-dormant signal from the stars is triggered, Greg realizes the General isn't just studying the Puians-he's waiting for them. With a galactic invasion looming and a secret that could shatter the children's sanity, Greg must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice to protect a legacy that was never meant for Earth.
