The world used to make sense, Kara's life seemed ordinary, and even her mother's disappearance years ago seemed like a normal accident. Now, with her father also taken, Kara discovers she's more than just an average girl - she's a player in a mysterious universe. Her mother has left behind a cryptic legacy for her to find: The Guide Stone, a powerful treasure that holds the secrets of her true family.
Morgan, son of the GCC emperor, is royalty in an underground empire of powerful, humanlike beings whose mission is to forge a new world order. But Morgan's father harbors an unexplained hatred for him, and only one thing might redeem him: The Guide Stone, the last piece in his father's plans for world dominance. If Morgan finds it, perhaps he'll earn his father's approval.
When Morgan and Kara's paths converge, allegiances are tested and priorities shift. Morgan's focus is the stone, but Kara's trust is hard-won. Despite their reservations, an irresistible attraction draws them together. As their hearts hang in the balance, their lives become pawns in a high-stakes game. Time is running out.
