Every year, the Earth looked up to the sky in awe and dread as the massive, crystalline ship of the Xyrenians descended into orbit. To humanity, the alien species was a paradox: beautiful and terrifying, their semi-transparent forms shimmering like molten glass refracted through sunlight. They were an advanced civilization, peaceful but enigmatic, whose motives baffled even the sharpest human minds. They claimed only one thing from Earth: volunteers. Or rather, raffle winners. The Xyrenian Exchange Lottery was mandatory for anyone between the ages of 18 and 35. Every nation received a quota, and every winner was given a choice: board the Xyrenian ship for a one-year "cultural immersion" or forfeit all earthly privileges. Most reluctantly went. Few were excited. Fewer still returned unchanged. This year, Harper Lane was one of them.

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.
