Humanity trembles at extinction after a catastrophic comet wipes out 98% of the population. The remaining 2% are either dead or transformed by strange, otherworldly powers. From the destruction grew terrifying creatures known as Apparitions, which can only be destroyed by those who wield a questionable ability. Decades later, Zia, a high ranking hunter crosses paths with Lucas, a fellow hunter who is as coy and cocky as he is enigmatic. When their agency assigns them to a mission all but guaranteed to end in death, the two are forced into a fragile partnership. But in a world where survival is crucial, but not for the fittest, even the smallest spark can ignite something unexpected yet undeniable. Sometimes, in the shadow of death, love is the one thing that refuses to perish. "Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality." - Emily Dickinson

It's been almost a hundred years since Earth's civilizations fell, leaving only ruins and memories. Long before the collapse, they began taking humans, but now, everyone knows who they are and they fear them. The few who manage to return from their captivity tell stories of how these creatures treat humans like animals or children, tending to them like pets or slaves. Most survivors live in hidden cities, avoiding the ancient ruined cities at all costs. But not Jace and his crew. As a group of Stray Humans, they've made the decaying cities their home, roaming the forgotten streets, never staying in one place for long, and bringing all their skills to the table. They are a family, working together to make sure those things, Aliens, never take another human as long as they are near. When the aliens of A.C.R. (Animal Care and Rescue) find a new group of humans wandering the ruins of a large city, they think it will be an easy capture. But they soon learn that these particular humans have more willpower than most. They dodge every trap, disappear around every bend, and even manage to take some of the already captured humans with them. The aliens pity these "little creatures"-they just don't want to leave their home, but Earth is falling apart at the seams, and they are determined to take the stubborn little humans to the safety of one of the mother planets. No matter the cost.
