Dylan Rovelin dreams of escaping his ruined Earth, turned golden yellow under an ecological catastrophe. Only he and his missing father are able to see the distant planet Astrea in the sky, which draws near to Earth once a year. When a tragic event forces Dylan to make an impossible choice, he leaves everything behind-including his only friend-to chase the truth about his father's disappearance.
Arriving in Astrea, Dylan finds a dazzling but deceptive world. In the city of Arwido, he encounters an eccentric group of youngsters hiding in an abandoned mansion and the enigmatic Rendall Rovelin, who claims to have answers about his father's fate. But as Dylan digs deeper, he unearths long-buried secrets about the Rovelin family and a dark force lurking beneath Astrea's perfection. To survive, he must confront his past and decide who he truly wants to be.
